A murder inquiry has been launched after a 34-year-old Iraqi man died in hospital from severe injuries.
Detectives have not revealed how the man was injured, but he was found badly hurt in a Scunthorpe street at about 0330 BST on Sunday.
He was taken to the town's general hospital but later died.
Nine men in their 20s from the Iraqi-Kurdish community were arrested at the scene a spokeswoman for Humberside Police said.
'Anything suspicious'
The scene was expected to be cordoned off for most of Sunday.
Det Chief Insp Simon Walker said: "I want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious, or was aware of any tensions in the area at around that time.
"I would appeal for everyone, especially those living in the Iraqi-Kurdish community, to contact us immediately if they have any information which could help this investigation."
A post-mortem examination was being carried out on Sunday afternoon.
