A teenager underwent hospital treatment after being cut across his face at 1.20am yesterday.

The 19-year-old man was attacked outside the Eivissa pub, in Winchester Street, South Shields. He was treated at South Tyneside Hospital for a serious facial injury, but his condition yesterday was said not to be life-threatening.

Two men and a juvenile were arrested in connection with the attack and were last night helping police with their inquiries.
