Police are urgently appealing for help to identify a man fighting for his life in hospital after being found unconscious in Barnet.

Police were called at around 11.03am last Friday (July 6) by London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics after the male was discovered on Regents Park Road, in Church End.

The male, who paramedics believe fell over and hit his head, did not have any form of identification on him and attempts to identify him have been exhausted, Met Police have said.

“He remains in hospital in a critical condition and his next of kin have not yet been informed,” a spokesman for the force said.

Police are appealing for any members of the public who might know the man to come forward.

The man is described as white, of stocky build, with stubble and a shaved head.
