A TEENAGER suffered serious head injuries following a large brawl in Bolton town centre.
Police were called to Nelson Square at 5am on Saturday, to reports of fighting where a large crowd of people had gathered.
A 19-year-old man was rushed to the Royal Bolton Hospital after suffering a serious head injury.
Police believe he was treated in the intensive care unit.
A police spokesman said two other men were treated for minor injuries following the large-scale fight.
He said: “Forensics attended the scene to carry out an investigation and inquiries are still ongoing.
“It is not clear if any arrests have yet been made but we are treating this as a very serious incident.”
The teenager has now been moved to a different ward, police said.
