A man in his 50s is fighting for his life in hospital after sustaining head injuries during a 'serious assault' in West London. A resident contacted MyLondon to report there were 'police and forensics everywhere' in Saxon Avenue, in Hanworth, at the junction of Watermill Way and Basson Grove. They added that roads were cordoned off with tape, and that they were told there was a 'serious assault'.
Now, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Service said: "Police were called shortly after 8am on Saturday, March 30, to a man in his 50s who had been taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service suffering head injuries. Officers established that the man had sustained the injuries at an address in the Hanworth area of Feltham.

"He remains in hospital in a critical condition. His family have been informed. Detectives from West Area CID are investigating. There has been no arrest at this early stage. Anyone with information that may assist police can call 101 and quote CAD 1641/30mar."
It comes after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed in a different incident elsewhere in West London. The Met was called to Great Chertsey Road in Chiswick on Friday evening (March 29).
The boy was taken to hospital after officers found him injured. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening nor life-changing.
