A father in Perth was severely injured after being attacked during a night out, leaving his face badly damaged.

A young father in Perth has been through a terrifying ordeal that has left him with a shattered face and a broken jaw. The incident occurred in the bustling area of Northbridge, where Zachary Hepping was brutally attacked by a group of thugs. His mother is understandably outraged that her son was left bleeding on the street for over 40 minutes while the perpetrators were allowed to walk free.

In an interview with 9News, Zachary described the extent of his injuries. "My lip is swollen and my eye is completely shut. I can't see out of it," the 24-year-old said. "I'll need surgery on my jaw, and my eye is also in a lot of pain." Despite only being discharged from the hospital moments ago, Zachary immediately went to the Northbridge police station to seek answers.

According to Zachary, the attack happened when he and some friends were on their way to a nightclub on Murray Street in the early hours of the morning. While passing through a nearby laneway, Zachary accidentally bumped into one of the men in the group, who then started the altercation. "I was just walking by, and he asked me what's going on. And then they just started attacking me," he explained.

Police officers on patrol in the area reportedly witnessed a group of men fighting on the street and intervened, managing to disperse them. However, by the time paramedics arrived, Zachary had already left the scene. "I waited for 40 minutes, and they just stood there for ages," he said. "They gave me a bottle of water, but that's about it."

Zachary's mother, Melissa, expressed her horror at what happened to her son. "It's just horrible," she said. "People should be able to go out and enjoy themselves without fear of something like this happening. This attack has left him with a broken jaw, a broken nose, and even a broken eye socket. Is this what our society has come to?"

Zachary is currently back in the emergency department, facing a long road to recovery. Despite the severity of the incident, no one has been charged yet, leaving the young father and his family seeking justice and answers.
