Crime scene investigators are at a garden in York city centre after a man was found collapsed earlier today (Wednesday).

The man was found on High Ousegate at about 7.50am. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was suffering from a head injury.

The path that leads from Coppergate to High Ousegate, next to All Saints Church, is taped off. So is the garden opposite the church.
