Man still in hospital a week after violent attack

Two men were taken to hospital with serious injuries after the violence, police said

A man who suffered life-threatening injuries during violence on a road in Wolverhampton is still in hospital more than a week later, police said.

The disorder, involving weapons, was on Parkfield Road in the early hours of 27 July during which the man, aged in his 20s, suffered serious head injuries and he was still getting hospital treatment on Sunday, as West Midlands Police made a fresh appeal for witnesses.

A second man who also needed hospital treatment had since been discharged.

Nine men were arrested after the violence and released on bail.

Det Insp Adam Keen said, as the scene of the violence was "a busy road even at night", they wanted to hear from any witnesses, especially if they had phone footage from 23:50-00:15 BST that night.

"We'd like to thank those people who have already helped with our enquiries and would urge anyone who is yet to speak to us to get in touch," he added.
