A seriously-injured man was found behind a Colchester pub after apparently falling off scaffolding.
He was taken to hospital in the early hours of Saturday morning with several broken bones and a head injury and needed emergency surgery.
After he was discovered, near Edwards in Head Street, a friend of the man was also traced, with less serious injuries, in Wimpole Road.
The friend told police he did not remember anything about what had happened.
Det Sgt Roger Napier, of Colchester CID, appealed to the public to help piece together the events.
Anyone with information should call Colchester police on 01206 762212
