A man is fighting for his life in hospital after being found suffering a serious head injury in Croydon, in the early hours of Tuesday.

Baffled detectives are appealing for the “smallest piece of information” to work out how the 36-year-old was injured after being found near East Croydon Box Park in Dingwall Road.

Police were called to a south London hospital at 5.13am on Tuesday after the man was taken in and tests revealed he had suffered a serious brain injury.

The man, described as white and between 5ft 6in to 5ft 8in tall, was last seen leaving his flat about 11pm on Monday. He left his home wearing a black coat, turquoise hooded top, maroon baseball cap and white trainers.

DC Paul Harakis of the South Area Command Unit said: “We are appealing for anyone with information as to what happened on this night to come forward.

“If you were in the areas of Dingwall Road and Wellesley Road, East Croydon between 11pm on Monday, May 17 and 12.30am on Tuesday, May 18 and saw anything, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, we urge you to come forward.

“This man is in hospital with serious injuries. The smallest piece of information could help us work out what happened to him.”

Please call 101 quoting CAD 867 18MAY21 or anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
