SEVEN local youths have been arrested and will appear at Truro magistrates' court next Thursday following a serious assault on two students in Falmouth last month.

The seven youths, some under 18, were arrested following an investigation by Falmouth CID after the assault in Arwenack Street in the early hours of March 24.

The two male students in their early twenties suffered black eyes and bruising during the assaults which happened just after midnight.
