A 39-year-old man is fighting for his life after he was found seriously injured in a house.
Police and paramedics descended on a “potential crime scene” in Winchester this afternoon after a neighbour spotted the man through his window.
He was rushed to Royal Hampshire County Hospital from a house in Priors Dean Road, Harestock.
A South Central Ambulance Service spokesman said he was in “life-threatening condition”.
“It’s a potential crime scene in the property,” he added.
“It was the gentleman’s neighbour who had looked in the house and seen him lying seriously injured inside, so she then called the police.
“At the moment it’s not quite clear how he sustained these injuries.”
A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: “We were called to Priors Dean Road at around 1.30pm to a concern for welfare.
"The man, in his 30s, has been taken to the Royal Hampshire County Hospital with serious injuries.
"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of how he sustained those injuries.”
At the scene, Detective Sergeant Frank Nelson said: "There's a male who is injured but it does not appear to be suspicious.”
An air ambulance landed at nearby Henry Beaufort School but the man was taken to hospital by road.
The road was blocked by police cars at the junctions with Bradley Road and Beaulieu Road but has now reopened.
