Man is fighting for his life

A police appeal has been reissued as a man fights for his life after suffering serious head injuries in Scarborough.

Detective Sergeant Andy Hall, of Scarborough Serious Crime Team, said: “A man is fighting for his life in hospital and we need to establish how he came by his injuries.

“Sadly, we have not had a particularly good response to our appeal and I am appealing to the people of Scarborough to cast their minds back to 31 January and contact us if they can assist the investigation.

“I appeal to people in the area that day to please contact us with any information, no matter how small. Please help us to find the answers for his family.”

Officers wish to speak to a man who spoke to ambulance staff at the scene. He is described as aged in his 30s with ginger hair and a goatee beard. As he passed he made said he had seen the man approximately two to three hours ago.
