Critically injured man found lying in reserve

Police are appealing for help in identifying a critically injured man found unconscious in an Auckland reserve this morning.

Detective Senior Sergeant Gerry Whitley said the man found in Maybury Reserve, in the Auckland suburb of Glen Innes, was so badly injured that police were unsure of his age.

Mr Whitley said a passer-by saw the man about 8am in the reserve and told police.

The man is in a critical condition in Auckland City Hospital.

Glen Innes police are appealing for anyone concerned with the whereabouts of a loved one to contact them.
