Around 4.50am on Sunday 14 April 2019, the male victim was seated near the James Street turn around in Northbridge when he was approached by a group of people. One of the men asked for the time, which was provided by the victim.
The man then punched the victim to the face, before the rest of the group assaulted him, causing the victim to fall to the ground.
