Officers have launched an investigation after a man was found with serious injuries in Northumberland.

At around 6:45pm, on Wednesday, May 28, police received a report via Hexham Hospital of a concern for the welfare of one of their patients.

The man, aged in his 80s, was found by a member of the public having sustained serious injuries, in the Adderlane Road area of Prudhoe on Sunday, May 25, shortly after 10:15am.

Emergency services attended and the man was taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries where he remains in a critical condition.

An investigation has been launched by Northumbria Police to establish the full circumstances surrounding the report – with the cause of the man's injuries currently being treated as unexplained.

Officers are now appealing to the public for help and are today (Tuesday) asking for any potential witnesses to come forward.

They are particularly keen to identify a man, who was believed to be driving a white car, who came across the man and offered him assistance.

The man, or anyone with information, should get in touch with Northumbria Police by sending a direct message on social media, or by using the live chat or report form function on the Force’s website.

Those who can’t contact the Force online should call 101. Please quote reference number: NP-20250528-0971.
