The latest reports state the man is still in hospital, but his injuries “are not thought to be serious or life-threatening”. A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said: “An investigation is underway and anyone who holds information about what happened is asked to contact police using live chat, online portal or by calling 101 quoting incident number 907 of 23 February 2023.”

The force is appealing for members of the public who may have CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage from the area to get in touch to help with the investigation.
