A bicyclist who was assaulted and left bloodied in a Santa Ana street early Monday remains hospitalized in grave condition, authorities said.

The man's upper body and head injuries were so severe that police initially thought he had been struck by a hit-and-run driver. Police later concluded that damage to his bicycle was inconsistent with having been struck by a vehicle.

Police responded about 4:30 a.m. to a report of a body in the street in the 800 block of East Stanford Street. Police suspect the man, who has not been identified and remains unconscious, may also have been robbed.
