Police are trying to establish how a 28-year-old man came to be found with “significant injuries”.
The man was discovered in Fraser Street in Inverness, with officers closing the road to allow for investigations to take place.
At this time Police Scotland have not yet confirmed how the man came to be hurt.
Officers are appealing for anyone who was in the area, especially those near Hootenanny’s between 1.30am and 1.50 am on Sunday December 9 to contact them.
