West Midlands Police have arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the vicious beating of a 73-year-old security guard.
The guard was attacked after challenging a man found near an office at Stoke Forgings, a metal factory on Vine Street, in Dudley at around 1pm on Sunday 19th March.
The victim was hit numerous times during a prolonged attack lasting around 15 minutes - police believe he was also beaten with a shovel.
A 44-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday morning in the Holy Hall area and is currently in police custody.
Detective Inspector Colin Mattinson from Force CID said “The security guard was left with serious head injuries and remains in a critical condition in hospital. Enquiries are on-going and I would ask anyone who saw anything in or anyone who has knowledge of this attack to call us as soon as possible on 101”
