A teenager was today recovering in hospital after a vicious street assault left him with serious head injuries.
The 18-year-old was found lying on a dirt track in a distressed state by two men early on Saturday morning.
Detectives have been left baffled by the case, and have appealed for help from the public to establish what happened to the man. He was discovered in an alleyway, which runs between Bourne Road and Barrington Road, near to a Ladbrokes betting shop, in Colchester.
