Police were back at the scene today. Inset: A note left on a police car window during the incident.

Police were called to Southgate in Sutton Hill at around 6.15pm yesterday after a man suffered serious injuries to his neck.

He was taken for emergency treatment to Royal Stoke Hospital by air ambulance where he remains in a stable condition.

Officers made three arrests on suspicion of assault but are still investigating the circumstances which lead to the man’s injury.

Seven police vehicles and the ambulance service were also on the scene.

At one point a resident put a note on the window of a police car at the scene which said: "This is private property, not a parking space."

In response, Telford Police said: "Whilst dealing with a serious incident along with West Midlands Ambulance Service we found this sign left on one of the seven police cars at the scene.

"Please be assured that we will never intentionally block a drive or properly unless it is an absolute emergency, like this was."

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We were called at 6.10pm to a property in Sutton Hill, Telford.

"An ambulance, paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford attended the scene and one man was given treatment for serious injuries before being taken to hospital by land ambulance for further emergency treatment."

A police cordon remained in place at the scene today.
