Man suffers head injury after incident in Bury St Edmunds

A man is in hospital after he sustained a head injury in Bury St Edmunds.

The 47-year-old is currently in Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, for treatment and is in a critical but stable condition.

He was found in the area of a multi storey car park at Parkway on Sunday, October 16, with the head injury and was taken to West Suffolk Hospital, in Bury St Edmunds, before being transferred to Addenbrooke’s.

Police believe the victim was also involved in a road traffic collision where he was a pedestrian and got involved in an altercation with the driver on Tayfen Road earlier in October and are exploring links to this incident.

He refused medical treatment at the time and police understand that the driver may be unaware of any injury caused despite stopping to check on the male’s welfare.

Enquiries are on-going and officers have looked at CCTV footage in the area, however at this stage police have not established any further suspicious circumstances in terms of the cause of the injury.

Anyone who has any information as how the male sustained the head injury is asked to contact Bury St Edmunds Police, quoting crime number 37/66798/22. They are specifically trying to identify the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision or any witness to that incident
