Man left critically injured following Barnsley assault
Detectives are urging witnesses to come forward following a ‘sustained
assault’ in the Oakwell area last night.
Just after 6pm, emergency services were called to Coniston Road, after
members of the public found a 28-year-old man seriously injured in an
alleyway just off the street.
He was taken to hospital, where he currently remains in a critical
condition.
Detective Inspector Mark Monteiro, said: “An investigation into this
incident is in the early stages but what we do know is that the man has
suffered from a sustained and violent assault, resulting in serious
injuries to his head and upper body.
“We are working hard to ascertain the exact circumstances surrounding
the incident, maximising forensic opportunities at the scene and
obtaining any available CCTV footage.
“A cordon that was in place has now been removed and I’d like to thank
local residents for their patience as we carried out enquiries.
“Officers remain in the area, carrying out house-to-house enquiries and
speaking to anyone who has information.
“We need to speak to anyone who was in the area, who either saw what
happened or heard anything suspicious yesterday evening.
“It would’ve still been relatively light at around that time – did you
see what happened? If you have any information that could assist with
our enquiries, please call 101 quoting incident number 786 of 16 October
or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.”
