"We are still in the early stages of our investigation but are currently working to the theory that he sustained this injury after being assaulted. While this took place in the early hours of the morning, there may have been a passerby who witnessed something happen but hasn't reported it yet.
"Likewise, someone could've inadvertently recorded the incident on their dash-cam or doorbell camera or may just have some information that could assist our investigation. As I've said, we're still in the process of piecing together what happened here, so if you have any information that could help us, please don't hesitate to share it."
Information can be reported either to the police directly by calling 101, quoting incident 50 of August 7, or to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Police inquiry after fan appeared to strike player
A police investigation has begun after Ipswich player Jack Taylor was apparently struck by a Birmingham City supporter. The alleged incident happened on Friday night, during the match that saw the teams draw 1-1 as they kicked off their Championship season at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park. After forward George Hirst scored a penalty in injury time, Ipswich's celebrations led to a melee involving several players from both sides, during which Taylor was allegedly assaulted. In a statement, Blues bosses said they were aware of the incident and had a "zero-tolerance policy towards violent and anti-social behaviour inside or around our stadium". On Sunday, West Midlands Police told the BBC they were liaising with the club and "reviewing CCTV footage to establish the full circumstances". The club added they would support officers and take appropriate action once the investigation concluded. Follow BBC Birmingham on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

Police ask to temporarily close Nottingham's Irish Centre after string of 'serious incidents'
Nottingham's Irish Centre could lose its license after a number of "serious incidents". A notice has been displayed outside the centre on Wilford Street, near the Nottingham and Beeston Canal in Nottingham, following an alleged incident on Sunday, August 3. An application has been made to Nottingham City Council by senior licensing enforcement officer Helen Guest-High on Thursday, August 7, asking for a review of the centre's premises licence. A notice displayed outside the Irish Centre reads: "The grounds of the application for the summary review are that, in the opinion of a senior police officer, the premises are associated with serious crime and/or disorder." An incident is reported to have taken place at the centre in the early hours of Sunday, August 3. Nottinghamshire Live has approached Nottinghamshire Police for comment but has not received a response in time for publication. Nottingham City Council has confirmed that a number of serious incidents have taken place at or near the venue over the past year. Connor Page, of Metcalfe Close, Alvaston, was handed a 25-year prison term in April after he stabbed a man in the head in June 2024 outside of I-Club on Wilford Street. A spokesperson for Nottingham City Council said: "Nottinghamshire Police have submitted an application for a summary review of the premises licence for the Irish Centre, following a number of serious incidents at or near the venue over the past 12 months. As the Licensing Authority, we are following the statutory process and working closely with the Police and legal notices have now been displayed at the premises. "A Licensing Panel will meet to consider an interim step, as requested by the Police, for the premises licence to be suspended pending a full review hearing." NottinghamshireLive has attempted to contact the Irish Centre for comment but hasn't received a response at the time of publication.
