Marylebone assault: Police appeal to identify man fighting for life after being found injured in central London

An appeal has been launched to identify a man fighting for life in hospital after being found unconscious by police in central London.

Officers were called to Bulstrode Street, Marylebone, at around 5.20am on Sunday morning following reports of a man found unconscious.

The man's injuries are consistent with those sustained in an assault, according to Scotland Yard.

He was taken to hospital by ambulance and remains in a critical condition but police are yet to discover who the man is.

He is described as a white male with a tanned complexion aged between 25-35 with black medium length hair, tall and of slim build.

The man was found wearing a light blue button up shirt with a skull and crossbones logo on the front, blue china trousers and black Vans trainers which are a size 9.5.

His next of kin is not known.

Detective Constable Cat Bell said: "We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time or knows what this man was doing in the area prior to being found to come forward.

"He is in a critical condition in hospital and we are keen to establish what led to him receiving his injuries.

"We are currently reviewing CCTV footage but I would urge anyone who has information that can help with our ongoing enquiries to contact us.

"Equally, if anyone believes they know the identity of this man, we need to hear from you."
