The victim is in his 50s and was left with a serious head injury.

He is now in hospital receiving treatment.

A man, aged 35, has since been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily and remains in police custody.

Detective Sergeant Osman Malik, from Telford’s Reactive CID Team, said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident as it can help us with our investigation.

“We are particularly keen to speak to a number of witnesses who stopped to help the victim, as if they haven’t already spoken to us, may have information that can assist with our enquiries," he said.
