The man was taken to hospital after concerned neighbours rushed to his aid and a neighbour gave the victim first aid treatment before the ambulances arrived at around 8.30pm.

She said: "He was hit by a bottle.

"We had to do CPR on him. Then when the ambulance arrived they were also doing CPR.

"He's not in a good way."

Another neighbour said: "He was covered in blood and had bandages around his head."

The woman, who lives in the area, said: "I brought out blankets and pillows for him because it was obvious he was not in a good way, he had been seriously injured."
