Police are investigating an attack on a man whose hands were nailed to pieces of wood in the same area where the search for missing Shannon Matthews is being carried out. A 43-year-old man was taken to Pinderfields Hospital after officers were called to his house in School Lane, Dewsbury Moor, just after 11am on Sunday.
The man, who needed surgery for his injuries, is believed to have been found lying outside the property on a grassed area unable to move.
His 39-year-old neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "I was leaving my neighbour's house when I heard him singing. I told him to get up, thinking he was drunk, but he cried 'I can't'. "My nephew Mark shouted 'Get over here, he's nailed to some wood."
The scared neighbour said, as she came closer, she realised it wasn't just wood – it was a cross.
Police have denied any link to the Shannon case, adding the incident was minor and no-one had been arrested.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "A 43-year-old man was assaulted around 11pm on Sunday. His injuries are not believed to be serious and the attack is not believed to be connected with the Shannon Matthews investigation."
Meanwhile, yesterday's Daily Star reported: SHANNON: MAN CRUCIFIED BY VIGILANTES.
