THREE people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man with serious head injuries was found screaming in pain in a tent in Bath.
The injured man was found in woodland off The Weal, Weston, Bath, at just after 3am on Wednesday (June 4) after officers were alerted to “someone shouting in pain”.
“The officers attended and soon found a man in a tent in the woods,” an Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said. “He had significant head injuries. He went to hospital for treatment to injuries not currently believed to be life-threatening.
“Three men in their thirties have since been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. All four are believed to be known to one another.
“Residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area as further enquiries, including forensic examinations, are carried out.
“We’re in the early stages of our enquiries. If you have any information, including CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage which could help, please call us.”
