A man is in intensive care following what is thought to have been a beating and robbery in the underpass near Debenhams on Fleming Way.
Insp Simon Dicks of Swindon police said that the victim is thought to be Somalian, although he has yet to be questioned about his ordeal because he is still being treated at Princess Margaret Hospital. Insp Dicks added that the alleged attack, carried out by two men, happened at 2.20am today and police were alerted by a call from the nearby Thistle Hotel.
Anybody with information is asked to contact the force on Swindon 528111 or the confidential Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
