Detective Inspector Tom Chisholm, leading the investigation, said: “We are in the early stages of this investigation, the victim is very poorly but receiving care at a local hospital.

“I would ask for anyone who lives in the area and heard anything unusual in the early hours of Saturday morning to contact the Public Protection Unit at Brierley Hill police station on 101."
