King Street assault 'unprovoked'

Posted by: 3AW Radio | 9 February, 2010 - 9:43 PM

ABOVE: The suspects in the case - call Crime Stoppers.

REPORT: Melbourne detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding what seems to be an unprovoked assault in King Street just after midnight on Sunday.

The victim a 22-year-old man from Warrandyte was walking along the footpath on King Street near the intersection of Flinders Street at 12.30am when he was attacked by three men.

The victim was struck to the face and fell unconscious to the ground.

Police have been told that while the man lay on the ground the three men continued to kick and punch him.

Two friends of the victim attempted to help him but they were also assaulted by the men, one of the friends receiving a gash to his eyebrow in the incident.

An off-duty crowd controller intervened and the assailants took off - crossing over the King Street river overpass and disappearing into the Crown Casino car parking area.

The victim was taken to hospital with facial injuries requiring plastic surgery to reconstruct his nose and a broken eye socket.

Investigators have released photographs of three men they wish to speak to in relation to the incident.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Where are the Police? I know, we can't afford any more. We seem to spend more on this OPI fiasco!
