Man critical after bashing at Marketown

BY LAUREN FREEMANTLE

A man is in a critical condition in the John Hunter Hospital following a serious assault at Marketown Shopping Centre early this morning.

Paramedics were called to King Street around 3:15am to treat a 21-year-old male who sustained facial and head injuries after being punched 3 times.

Police believe a verbal fight may have begun in the King Street McDonalds carpark before things escalated.

They're urging the culprits behind the bashing to hand themselves in, as they've obtained clear CCTV footage of the incident.
