Police investigating a 'nasty' late-night attack on the girlfriend of footballer Louie Sibley have arrested two people.

Keeley Carter, 20, was allegedly punched, smashed into a wall, dragged to the ground and knocked unconscious during the assault on Upper Parliament street in Nottingham at around 2am on Sunday.

Louie, 20, who plays for Derby County, posted pictures of Keeley and her injuries along with pictures of her alleged attacker on social media.

He wrote: 'My girlfriend was attacked several times by a man and a woman.

'She ended up in hospital and had to have stitches due to the man who punched her and knocked her out, leaving her unconscious.

'This coward attacked such an innocent girl. He even dragged her to the ground prior to the hit and slammed her up the wall.

'After doing that, when she wasn’t looking, he then smacked her, leaving her unconscious.

'The woman he was with was continuously attempting to assault her, even attacking her when the man dragged her to the floor.'

He said the attack was unprovoked and the pair ran off afterwards.

Louie said: 'Both of them need to be found! How can a grown man attack a girl like this and get away with it?

'Please share this and if anyone has any information it would be much appreciated.'

Nottinghamshire Police arrested a 20-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.

Chief Inspector Amy English said: 'Violence will not be tolerated in our city or county and that is why officers have been working hard to investigate the exact circumstances of what happened and to find those responsible.
