Police were called to Southalls Way, Sprowston, at 10.23pm on Thursday, February 5 where officers found the man with severe head injuries.

He had been assaulted at around 10.15pm by a group of people.

It is understood the man, who had been lured to the location, suffered a fractured skull and bled on the brain that had required emergency surgery to save his life.
