A man has been arrested after a woman was taken to hospital with a serious head injury.
Police were called to Lawrence Road in Southsea by paramedics, who were treating a woman in her 30s with a serious head injury at about 3.40am today.
She was taken to hospital by the ambulance service for treatment, and police arrested a 34-year-old man from Portsmouth on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and breach of a domestic violence prevention order.
He was also taken to hospital for treatment for injuries to his head and body and is still there. Police put up a cordon today on the pavement of Lawrence Road, almost opposite the junction with Campbell Road.
A police spokesperson said: “Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
