Detectives are trying to solve the mystery of what happened to a man found with severe head trauma and other injuries Thursday in a Hempstead parking lot.
Hempstead Village police discovered the man, 35, lying in the parking lot at 78 N. Franklin Street at about 6:50 a.m. That is a shopping center parking lot outside the Calvary Tabernacle church.
He suffered a fractured skull, along with several cuts and bruises, and was taken to a hospital, where he was in critical but stable condition, police said Thursday night.
