Police were called to Day’s Inn, at Baldock Services off Junction 10 of the A1(M), at 4.55am after reports that two men staying at the hotel were arguing.

This became a physical fight in which both men were injured to the extent that two ambulance crews and a Magpas response car were despatched to the scene.

One man had suffered scolding burns to his back, while the other had a head injury.
