A man who was coward punched on the Central Coast remains in a coma after undergoing brain surgery in the John Hunter Hospital.
The 64-year-old, who is trained in first aid, went to help a 17-year-old boy who'd crashed his Toyota Corolla in a caravan outside his home on Skyhawk Avenue at Hamlyn Terrace on Saturday night.
Police say the Good Samaritan was then set upon by a group of males and knocked unconscious, while his son-in-law was also attacked, leaving him with a broken nose.
The 17-year-old P-Plater has been charged with drink driving and other traffic offences.
The search continues for the group of men.
