Coronation Street actor Mikey North suffered a broken jaw and required emergency surgery after being attacked during the Easter break.

 

According to The Mirror, the 22-year-old - who plays Weatherfield's cocky Gary Windass - was assaulted by two attackers as he returned home from a club with his girlfriend and a group of friends in his hometown of Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

 

Reports suggest that the two thugs provoked North about his Corrie role, before leaving him in a heap on the pavement, covered in blood.

 

Following the attack, North attended A&E at the local hospital for treatment.

 

A Coronation Street spokesman said: "There was an incident at the weekend which resulted in Mikey North sustaining facial injuries."

 

They added: "He was treated in hospital and the matter is now in the hands of the police."

 

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police commented: "A 19-year-old male has been arrested in connection with the incident. He has been released on bail while police enquiries continue."
