A 29-year-old man was left seriously hurt and in hospital after an alleged attack in Exeter Road at 5.15am this morning (Sunday).

Shocked neighbours in Ronkswood said they were concerned when they woke up to a large police presence outside their homes.

Police officers were seen looking in bins and police dogs were sniffing along hedges as marked and unmarked police cars and vans filled the streets.

Other officers wearing white suits and face masks could also be seen going in and out of flats on the road while police tape was placed across a gate.
