Assault appeal, Upper Coomera

Detectives from Taskforce Maxima with the Organised Crime Gangs Group are investigating the vicious assault of a man in Upper Coomera this week.

Around 8.15pm on Monday, a 20-year-old man was at the Days Road gym, when an unprovoked assault occurred.

Initial investigations indicate the male victim was in the open area of the gym, when two men approached him as he was looking at his mobile phone.

One of the men has then struck the victim to the head multiple times with a five kilogram weight.

The victim fell to the ground, and was further assaulted before being assisted by staff and other members of the public. The two men then left the gym.

The victim later attended the Gold Coast University Hospital for treatment which required surgery, however his injuries are non-life-threatening injuries.
