A Canadian tourist has suffered horrific injuries in a violent assault in Byron Bay.
The 28-year-old man had been drinking alcohol with about five other males, not known to him, in a park on Jonson Street when he was assaulted by the group at around 11.40pm Sunday night.
He managed to flee into bushland before flagging down a patrolling police car
along Butler Street.
Officers rendered first aid to the man before he was taken to Byron Bay Hospital.
He was later transferred to Tweed Valley Hospital in a serious but stable condition with a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain and spinal injuries.
