Thames Valley Police is now appealing for witnesses.
Investigating officer PC Cameron Morgan, based at Banbury police station, said: “This was a violent and seemingly unprovoked attack on a vulnerable man, who has sustained some quite significant injuries.
“I believe that Broad Street will have been fairly busy at this time of night, and I am appealing to anybody who witnessed the assault, or the aftermath in the street, to call the 24-hour non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 43190306902.
“I am also asking anybody who may have been driving in the area who may have dash-cam footage, to please check this and contact us if it has captured anything relating to this incident.
“If you don’t wish to speak directly with police, you can also make a report online, or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
