A woman in her 50s sustained injuries in Wimborne on Sunday evening but she doesn't know what happened.
She was walking along East Borough near to the junction of Priors Walk at around 11.30pm when she found herself on the ground at the side of the road, resting on her hands.
The woman suffered injuries to her face and bruising to her body but was able to walk home. She was in pain the next morning and went to hospital.
Medical staff believe that the injuries are not consistent with a fall and represent trauma-type injuries concentrated down one side of her body.
