A victim who was attacked in broad daylight on what's been described as a "quiet road" is not speaking to police, a resident has claimed.
It comes after a man armed with what police describe as a 'blunt instrument' attacked the victim, who was on Bestwood Lodge Drive in Arnold, at around 2.25pm on Friday (February 25).
The victim suffered a punctured lung and fractured ribs but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Nottinghamshire Police confirmed on Tuesday (March 1) that enquiries were still ongoing and no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

Residents living on Bestwood Lodge Drive say the area is normally quiet, and one told Nottinghamshire Live that the victim is not speaking about what happened.
Philip Wilford, 67, a refuge collector, said: "Police came to ask us what was going on, but we don't know - apparently the victim is not speaking.
"The police have been going around to everyone.
"It's a pretty good area, there's usually no bother here at all - I've been here for 44 years and you don't usually get anything like that."
Another said he heard shouting at the time of the incident.
Gary Watson, 64, an engineer for Nottingham City Transport, said: "I was in and getting ready for work, and I heard two youths shouting in the street.
"I had my blinds shut as I was getting changed, and I think they then went up the road.
"When I went to work, four police cars were outside.
"I've been here since 2002, and when we first moved, there was a lot of trouble, usually by people that didn't live around here, but in the past four or five years it's been calm."
Other residents agree the area is usually quiet.
Emma Hanks, 39, a childminder, said: "We were out shopping, came back and there were police near our house.
"It's usually quiet here though, you don't get anything going off around here at all.
"I've been here for two and a half years and it's a very friendly, very polite, very quiet area."
Alan Barnaby, retired, said: "It's a quiet road, there are a lot of families up and down here.
"It does get busy as it can act as a cut-through, but I've lived here for four years and you don't really get anything like that around here.
"We chose to live in this area because it's nice, and everyone around here is friendly and nice."
Police enquiries are ongoing after officers attended the scene and carried out searches in the area.
Detectives are continuing with lines of enquiry, including carrying out house-to-house enquiries and checking CCTV footage, and are appealing for anyone with any information about what happened to get in touch.
Detective Constable Christopher Black, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "We are working hard to understand the circumstances of this incident and to track down the offender who was responsible.
"The investigation is very much ongoing but we are treating this as an isolated incident.
"While there is no threat to the wider public, reassurance patrols have been upped in the area as our enquiries continue.
"I would like to reassure people that violence of this sort will not be tolerated on our streets and we will take robust action against those who choose to engage in this type of disorder.
"To assist us with our ongoing investigation we are now appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or who may have captured CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage, to please get in touch with Nottinghamshire Police as soon as possible."
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information that could aid officers in their investigation is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 429 of February 25, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
