POLICE are trying to identify a man found in a pool of blood in a Birmingham street.

The man was found unconscious with head injuries outside Barclays Bank in Soho Road, Handsworth, at 4.15am yesterday.

He was taken to hospital where his condition was described as serious.

Officers found the man when they were called to reports of an incident.

A team of detectives are investigating the incident and have been interviewing witnesses and collecting CCTV footage.
