Detectives are piecing together the man’s movements in the lead up to him being found and are asking anyone who may have seen him in the area at the time to come forward.

Det. Sgt Mark Holland from Burnley CID said: “At this time we don’t know exactly how this man has ended up with his injuries and so we need any witnesses who have seen a man walking or stumbling around wearing a red baseball cap, a red hoodie and grey joggers in the early hours of this morning to speak to us.”
