An investigation has begun after a man was found with serious head injuries in East Grinstead.

Officers believe the 66-year-old had travelled from London by train before he was discovered by a member of the public, in Heathcote Drive, early on Wednesday morning, January 25th.

Detective Inspector Dan McCarthy CID said ”At this time our detectives are working hard to establish how the man sustained these injuries. We are keeping an open mind as we pursue a number of lines of enquiry.

“We are asking residents and businesses located between the train station and Heathcote Drive to check any CCTV, dash cam or doorbell footage for any potential footage around the time of the incident. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone driving in that area around that time.

DI McCarthy is urging anyone with information about how the man was hurt to contact police online or by calling 101, quoting serial 47 of 25/01.
