Residents in the area told Nottinghamshire Live what they had seen.
One man, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed he saw a fight outside Hot & Spicy.
"There were three people, all in their 30s. Two people were stamping on one guy, beating him, and then he retaliated."
Shah Raahadeti, who works at Nottingham Fish Mongers and Food Store in Alreton Road, said: "I was thinking where are all the customers? And then saw police cars drive past. They've been here for two or three hours. There are some bad people."
Mohammed Saleem, who lives nearby, said he saw a man with a bloodied head lying on the ground after the attack.
"I got off the bus and I saw a man laying down and a lot of guys around him," said the 68-year-old. "There were eight or nine police cars. He had a bandage on his head and I saw him collapse on the street, his head was bloody. There was a big crowd."
Naseem Mohammed, who lives locally, added: "There are cameras everywhere, on the shops, round the corner and it's a busy street. You'd thinking something would've picked it up."
