The 42-year-old was found with head injuries at the rear of outdoor clothing store Hawkshead in the Buttermarket on December 10

Donna Johnston, a spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary last night described the man’s condition as “critical” .

He is currently being treated in Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.

Paramedics who gave the man first aid at the scene originally took him to Ipswich Hospital following what appeared to be an early morning fall.

Last week police confirmed they were planning to talk to him in connection with an attempted burglary. Officers were called at around 4.45am from a key holder at Hawskhead after a burglar alarm went off.
