An altercation has broken out and as the woman was running from the scene she was hit by the cricket bat
The three men ran from the scene.
As a result of the assault, the woman was left with serious injuries and facial fractures which ultimately required plastic surgery.
Strike Force Dinora, comprising detectives from Sydney City Local Area Command, was formed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assault.
As a result of inquiries by strike force detectives, a 30-year-old man was arrested today, on Goulburn Street at Surry Hills.
He was subsequently charged with maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.
The 30-year-old was refused bail and will appear in Central Local Court tomorrow.
