Police are holding two men known to officers after they allegedly attacked another man in central Reykjavik on Sunday, mbl.is reports. No weapons were used.

The assault happened shortly after 10 a.m. The victim was taken by ambulance to an emergency department, police representative Jón Þór Karlsson told mbl.is.
