Drivers are being re-routed at Powis Street in Wembley in the northbound lane of the freeway by traffic incident response and multiple police vehicles.<\/p>\n
Police say the man, in his 50s, was approached by two unknown males on Powis Street before being assaulted and having personal property stolen.<\/p>\n
St John Ambulance took him from nearby Dodd Street to hospital with severe injuries after the incident about 2.22am.<\/p>\n
He was taken to Royal Perth Hospital under lights and sirens, arriving about 3.20am.<\/p>\n
He is in a serious but stable condition, a hospital spokesperson confirmed.<\/p>\n
