Witness appeal after man found injured in Portsmouth

We are appealing for witnesses after a 22-year-old man was found injured in Portsmouth yesterday evening (Wednesday 13 October).

We were called at 10.59pm to a report that the man had been located on Fawcett Road, Southsea, with an injury to his chest.

He was taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment where he remains today in a stable condition. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening at this time.

We are working to establish the circumstances of how the man came to be injured, as well as how he came to be located on Fawcett Road and would like to hear from anyone with information that may assist our enquiries.

The man is believed to have left the Guildhall Walk area at around 10pm and taken a route which is currently unclear to Fawcett Road.

We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen a man who appeared to be injured between 10pm and 11pm or an altercation taking place.

Perhaps you have Dash Cam footage, Ring Door Bell or private CCTV footage from the local area at the times specified?

Anyone with any information that may assist our enquiries is asked to contact us on 101 quoting reference 44210412132 or online at https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/.

Officers will be in the area today conducting enquiries, do come and speak to them if you have any questions or concerns.
