Three men have been released on bail following an attack on journalist Owen Jones.
The Guardian columnist, 35, had been out celebrating his birthday with friends when he was set upon by a group of men in the early hours of August 17.
In an earlier appeal, Scotland Yard said detectives were investigating whether the “completely senseless attack” outside the Lexington pub, in Islington, north London, was a hate crime.
The force said three men, aged 39, 34 and 29, were held on Thursday after handing themselves in at a police station.
They were all arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
On Friday morning, Scotland Yard said three men had been bailed until late September and that a file had been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service.
