Police are investigating after a 32-year-old man was found near a road with unexplained injuries including broken bones, fractures and internal bleeding.

A member of public came across the man lying on the ground at around 04:00 GMT on 10 January. The man, who is still recovering, was unable to explain his injuries, police said.

He was discovered in Longwell Green, South Gloucestershire, near Marsham Way and the A4174.

Since the extent of his injuries became clear, Avon and Somerset Police have retraced his route and carried out CCTV enquiries. They are now appealing for witnesses.

Investigating officer Sgt Toby Hales said: "We know it's been almost two months since this incident happened but we're hoping people can cast their minds back if they were travelling on, or walking near, the A4174 by Marsham Way between 2:30 and 5:00 GMT on Friday 10 January.

"We're keeping an open mind as to how the man suffered these injuries, but at this time we don't have any information to suggest there are any suspicious circumstances."

The sergeant said the man was taken to hospital but has since gone home.
