Police are appealing for public assistance after a man was knocked unconscious at a licensed premises in Sydney on Thursday night, NSW Police say.
About 6.30pm (Thursday 16 November 2017), emergency services were called to a hotel on the corner of Pitt and Bathurst streets following reports a man had been assaulted.
On arrival, officers attached to Sydney City Local Area Command found a 19-year-old man unconscious.
Police have been told he was punched in the back of the head by a man. He was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a stable condition.

Four men have been charged with affray in relation to that incident. The men – aged 36, 33, 22 and 23 – were granted conditional bail and are due to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday 14 December 2017.
Anyone who witnessed the assault is urged to come forward.
