Teenager critical after sustaining head injury - public asked what happened?

Detectives are now investigating two incidents in Enniskillen during the early hours of today (Wednesday, 24th February).

Just before 3.10am, police received a report of concern for the safety of an injured male who was seen walking in the vicinity of Cornagrade Road in the town.

A PSNI statement says that officers responded to the report, checking the area, but they were unable to locate the male.

But at 4am, police received a report from the NIAS in relation to a male teenager who had sustained a serious head injury.

The teen, aged 19 years old, was taken to hospital where he remains this afternoon in a critical condition.

Detective Sergeant Brian Reid said: “At this time, we are working to establish if these two reports are linked.

“What we know, at this time, is that a young man has sustained a serious head injury.

“We are making enquiries to establish how he sustained his injury, and we are asking the public for help.

“Were you on Cornagrade Road at around 3am? Did you see an injured male, or a male involved in some type of incident? If you have information you think would assist our investigation, call us on 101 and quote reference number 142 of 24/02/21.”
