He was left seriously injured in Stock Well, police said.

Det Ch Insp Hayley Williams said: "We would like to hear from anyone who was out running, walking or driving in the area of Crabtree Road and Hempshill Lane between 7pm and 7.30pm who saw anything suspicious.

"If anyone drove past who had dash-cam footage we would particularly urge you to come forward."
