Enniskillen PSNI probe after teenager left in critical condition after sustaining serious head injury

A teenager is in a critical condition after sustaining a serious head injury.

Police are investigating after the 19-year-old was taken to hospital in the early hours of this morning.

Officers are trying to establish whether it is linked to an earlier report of concern for the safety of an injured male in the Enniskillen area.

Just before 3.10am on Wednesday, February 24, police received a report of concern for the safety of an injured male who was seen walking in the vicinity of Cornagrade Road in the town.

Officers responded to the report, checking the area, but they were unable to locate him. 

At 4am, police received a report from the ambulance service in relation to a male teenager who had sustained a serious head injury. The teen was taken to hospital where he remains this afternoon in a critical condition. 

Detective Sergeant Brian Reid said: "At this time, we are working to establish if these two reports are linked.

"What we know, at this time, is that a young man has sustained a serious head injury. We are making enquiries to establish how he sustained his injury, and we are asking the public for help. 

"Were you on Cornagrade Road at around 3am? Did you see an injured male, or a male involved in some type of incident? If you have information you think would assist our investigation, call us on 101 and quote reference number 142 of 24/02/21."
