South Yorkshire Police said: “Police were called at 4.30am with reports that a man had been assaulted at a property on Valley Road in Sheffield.

“On arrival at the scene, officers discovered a 46-year-old man who had suffered multiple injuries, including stab wounds.

“He was taken to hospital where he remains at this time. Enquiries are ongoing.”

A neighbour said he heard and witnessed two incidents at the house this morning – one at 1am and a second at 4.30am.

He said in the first incident three offenders forced their way into the house and assaulted the man who lives there.

Police officers were called to the scene but the occupant of the house remained in the house.

A few hours later offenders forced entry again and were armed with bats and spades.

He said the occupant of the house was found in a ‘crumpled heap’ after the second incident.

The neighbour said he believes the injured man suffered a number of broken bones in the attack.

He said: “He didn’t look in a good way.”

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
