Wednesday, March 12, 2025
An investigation is underway after a man was seriously injured in an assault in Preston.
We were called at about 6.15am today (Wednesday, March 12th) to a report of an assault on Ribbleton Hall Drive close to Moor Nook School. Officers attended and a man believed to be in his 50s was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
A man in his 30s from Preston was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder and is currently in custody.
We are appealing for anyone who saw what happened or who has any CCTV, Ring doorbell, mobile phone or dashcam footage to come forward.
A scene remains in place while we carry out some further enquiries and there are some road closures in place. We will update you when these reopen.
Extra officers will be out and about in the area over the next day or so and if you have any information or concerns, please feel free to approach them. They are there to help.
Det Insp James Weatherby, of Preston CID, said:” This assault has left a man with some very significant injuries, and he remains in a poorly condition in hospital. While we have made an arrest our enquiries are still at a very early stage. I would appeal to anyone who has any information or footage which could help us piece together exactly what has happened to get in touch.”
Anyone who can help should call 101 quoting log 0181 of today (March 11th)
