The man remains in hospital in a serious condition and detectives are working quickly to build a fuller picture of the circumstances.
At this stage, they believe the incident in which the man was injured took place at about 8.30pm in Westcliff, at the junction of Station Road and Palmerston Road.

Building a full picture
Detective Superintendent Shaun Kane said: “We’re working diligently to build a fuller picture of how this man sustained his serious injuries and we’ve been able to track him back this location – a wall at the top of Palmerston Road where it meets Station Road.
“Key to our work is speaking with people who witnessed any concerning or violent behaviour in the area on Saturday evening.
“It could be that you were walking past and witnessed an incident, or you were driving past and may have caught something on dashcam or your doorbell camera captured something of interest.
“I would appeal to anyone who has information on what happened to please come forward.”
