Three men and a woman are released on police bail after being addressed as part of investigation into attack on Gerard Williams






Four people arrested in connection with a serious assault in Middlesbrough have been released on bail.


Gerard Williams was discovered with potentially life-threatening injuries in Whinney Banks a week ago.


The 42-year-old dad-of-three from the area had suffered a fractured skull, arms and legs.


He was taken by ambulance to James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough.


A subsequent police press conference heard that officers believed a "wooden implement" had been used in the attack.


Mr Williams' condition was yesterday described as “stable”.


Three men, one in his late teens and two in their forties were arrested .


The younger man was held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit wounding and the two older men were held on suspicion of wounding.


Then a 23-year-old woman was arrested at an address in Middlesbrough.


Detectives were questioning her on suspicion of conspiracy to commit wounding.


All four have now been bailed pending police inquiries.


Mr Williams was found near a path at the end of Weatherhead Avenue, where it meets Acklam Road, at 7.45pm on Thursday.
