The 25-year-old man was taken to Tamworth hospital with minor injuries and has since been released.
A 19-year-old man, a 20-year-old man, and a 20-year-old woman were arrested in John Street at about 9.30am on Wednesday.

All three were granted strict conditional bail to appear at Tamworth Local Court in February.
