A man is assisting Ipswich detectives following a serious assault in Tivoli.

Around 9.20am, police were called to an abandoned house on Black Street where they located a 60-year-old man of no fixed address covered in blood.

He was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with serious injuries including multiple rib fractures and a punctured lung. He is in a stable condition.

While at the house, a man approached police and was later questioned in relation to the assault.

It is expected a 46-year-old man of no fixed address will be charged with acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and will appear in the Ipswich Magistrates Court tomorrow.
