Subsequent enquiries have led officers to believe that the attack in the Ramshill Road area of Scarborough at around 2.30am on Wednesday (July 15) was targeted rather than a random assault on rough sleepers, police have confirmed.
A 41-year-old man from Leeds was arrested on Thursday (July 16) and remained in custody at the time of publication.
