A MAN suffered a fractured skull and serious injuries following a daytime assault in Southampton.

Police are appealing for witnesses after a 45-year-old man was attacked by two or three men in Park Road, Shirley.

Officers say he was returning from shops when he was attacked.

The assault left him with a fractured skull, a bleed on the brain, a collapsed lung, and a broken hand and ribs.

He was taken to Southampton General Hospital and underwent surgery.

Detectives say one of the attackers was around 5ft 5ins and wore a grey puffy jacket.

Another attacker wore a dark hat with ear flaps.

The attack happened between 12.45pm and 1.15pm on Wednesday, February 27 but police have only released the details this afternoon.

Anyone with information about the attack is asked to contact Det Sgt Thomas Orchard at Shirley CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Park Rd is a long road crossing several other roads. Daily Echo, where on Park Rd did it happen?

@ red/white army

A classic example of a bigoted, pathetic excuse of a human being.

Thanks for re-enforcing my view of the typical football fan who is a mindless xenophobic, yob. Made my day…
