Fresh appeal a week after woman found badly hurt
Detectives in Leicester have launched a fresh appeal for information as they investigate how a woman came to be found with serious injuries.
Leicestershire Police were called to Corporation Road at about 14:55 BST on 1 June and discovered the woman, aged in her 30s.
The force said, one week on, the woman remained in a critical condition in hospital.
They said they had spoken to a number of witnesses but urged more people to come forward.
"There is a critically ill woman still in hospital following this incident and we have to find out what has happened to her," said Det Sgt Adrian Davies.
"We know there are more people out there who may have seen what's happened – it was a very busy Sunday afternoon in a busy area of the city.
"Any tiny piece of information, no matter how small, may prove crucial to our investigation."
Police said the victim was riding an e-bike before she was hurt but this was not at the scene when they arrived.
An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery, causing grievous bodily harm and theft of a motor vehicle.
Another 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and robbery.
Both were later released on bail.

Family of Nottingham attack victims complain about ‘offensive' watchdog meeting
The family of a student killed in the Nottingham attacks has described their meeting with the police watchdog leading the public inquiry into her death as 'offensive'. Valdo Calocane killed students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and caretaker Ian Coates, 65, before attempting to kill three other people in the city in June 2023. It was announced in February that prosecutors, police and medical professionals would be scrutinised in the two-year inquiry, including the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Grace's father, Dr Sanjoy Kumar, said that an IOPC regional director had behaved inappropriately when the bereaved families met the watchdog nine months after the attacks in March 2024, including by starting the meeting with a prayer. Dr Kumar told The Sunday Times: 'I found it patronising and offensive. 'I didn't want a prayer, I wanted answers. I've lost my daughter and it was his job to give me the truth, not a prayer. 'There are plenty of places to pray and the IOPC isn't one of them.' The regional director at the meeting, Derrick Campbell, is now the watchdog's director of engagement, the newspaper reported. An IOPC spokesperson said: 'We can confirm we've received a complaint about one of our directors and we are dealing with it in line with our complaints and feedback procedure.' The IOPC previously prepared a report which concluded that police failed to properly investigate an assault on warehouse workers by Calocane, which could have stopped his murder spree a month later, leading to the watchdog reopening its investigation into the incidents in March. In a statement at that time, Mr Campbell said: 'Those who are closely impacted by our decision, including the bereaved families and the officers involved, have been notified and we will complete this work as quickly as possible.' Calocane was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order in January 2024 after admitting manslaughter by diminished responsibility and attempted murder, something which has been widely criticised by the victims' families. Barnaby's mother Emma Webber said in February last year that the families had a lot of concerns 'that were in the most part wholly ignored' by the Crown Prosecution Service. Senior retired judge Deborah Taylor will chair the inquiry, which aims to report back within two years, with recommendations to prevent similar incidents.
