A 24-year-old man was found nearby suffering facial injuries and was admitted to the same hospital for treatment.
Officers established a crime scene and commenced an investigation.
Four men were arrested on the scene and taken to Kogarah Police Station, where they were later charged with affray.
The men were refused bail and are due to appear at Parramatta Local Court today (Sunday 22 March 2020).
