The suspect has been detained and was taken to hospital with injuries.

1）The suspect has been detained and was taken to hospital with injuries.
2）The suspect with injuries has been detained and was taken to hospital.

Hi. I wonder if there are any differences between sentence 1 and 2, with ‘with injuries’ placed at different positions.

Only 2 is correct.

No. Only 1 sounds anything like authentic. It was possibly taken from a dictionary. Sentence 2 was probably made up by lagoo.

2 is an odd thing to say. The prepositional phrase with injuries there is effectively defining which suspect was taken to hospital. In 1, it tells us information about the suspect's condition.

Yes, you caught me. Sentence 2 was made up by myself. Thank you for your explicit reply.

Yes, you caught me. Sentence 2 was made up by me. Thank you for your explicit reply.

Or:

I wrote sentence two.

(Are there implicit replies?)
