A 33-year old foreign national found in a pool of blood has serious head injuries after apparently falling down a steep bank in central Queenstown this morning.

Queenstown police area response manager Senior Sergeant Glenn Wilkinson said the man was found lying in Turner St a steep cul-de-sac, about 6am.

Police were making "urgent enquiries to determine how the man came to be injured", Sen Sgt Wilkinson said.

The man was seen in the vicinity of Turner and Hallenstein Sts about 2am.

Police wanted to hear from anyone in the area at the time who might be able to help with the investigation, he said.

An Otago Daily Times reporter saw a police officer taking photos at the scene about 8.45am.

A blood-stained shirt, and a pair of shoes next to a pool of blood, were lying on the road below the bank.
