Police believe attackers who left a man with severe life-threatening injuries in Pukekohe, south of Auckland, are locals.

The 24-year-old victim was found on a road at the start of August, and police have been trying to figure out what happened to him.

They say it appears the man was attacked by two to four people, who are believed to be locals.

Police say the victim is currently in a rehabilitation unit where he needs extensive treatment to be able to be independent again.
