A SECURITY guard is fighting for his life after being attacked while working in the former Walthamstow Stadium.
The man, who is in his 40s, was found at the site in Chingford Road with serious head injuries at 9.40am.
Police initially reported his condition as serious, but said on Tuesday he was now critical.
Mystery surrounds how the man came to be injured, but police were called to the scene by the victim's colleague.
Despite calling the incident an attack, police have not explained why they have come to this conclusion.
They have also not revealed who raised the alarm and in what circumstances.
Site owner London & Quadrant received planning permission last week to turn the site into a large housing estate, despite a concerted campaign against the proposal.
