Information can be reported to police on 101, quoting WA1824984. The attack happened at around 10.30pm on Thursday October 11.

Mr Melia banged his head on a wall as he fell, and said: “I woke up and my hands were covered in blood. “I don’t know if they hit me with something. I didn’t see it coming because I had my back to them. The next minute it was, ‘Whack’, and I was on the ground.”
