Man in hospital with fractured skull after being attacked by group with metal bars

A man has had his skull fractured in Bognor after being attacked by a group of four to six men with various weapons, including metal bars. Police were called to reports of a fight in Silver Birch Drive just after 1.20am on Sunday morning (September, 1), and found the 25-year-old victim. He was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, where officers said he is currently being treated. A second man, aged 24, who was also discovered with the first victim, was taken to St Richard's Hospital in Chichester with cuts and bruises, but was later released. Police said it is believed the pair were attacked by a group of four to six men with various weapons, including metal bars, while one of the victims also had a wallet stolen containing cash. The group got in a van and drove off following the incident. DS Emma Fields said: "We are still establishing the circumstances of the incident and are appealing for witnesses who may have seen it to come forward, particularly anyone who has private CCTV or dash cam footage. "One of the victims has suffered a serious head injury." Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting Operation Morley.
