A man has been arrested after a 91-year-old woman was beaten up as she lay in bed in Southampton.

Pensioner Ivy Fallon suffered serious facial injuries after she awoke to find an intruder in her flat at Milner Court, Shirley, in the early hours of Sunday, 13 April.

A 35-year-old man was arrested in Southampton on Tuesday afternoon and is being held at Southampton Central Police Station.
