(Picture: Google Maps)Two men were taken to hospital after being injured in an “awful attack” during a night out in Sutton.
Police on patrol were made aware of a group fighting close to the railway station at 1.45am on Saturday.
They found two men, aged 25 and 50, with injuries from the brawl.
London Ambulance Service took both men to hospital and they have since been discharged.
Footage of the assault appears to have circulated on social media.
Three men, two aged 25 and one aged 30, were arrested nearby on suspicious of grievous bodily harm. They were subsequently released under investigation.
Sgt Liam Holbrook, from the local policing team in south London, said: “This was an awful attack on two men who were enjoying a night out. It was lucky they were not seriously injured.
“We are aware of video posted on social media which appears to show the attack and this is being reviewed as part of our investigation. I would urge anyone with information to contact us immediately.
“I would also like to reassure the community that this appears to have been an isolated incident and there is nothing to suggest a wider risk of further violence in the area.”
Anyone who can help the investigation is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting CAD 604/23Oct. To remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
