A young man viciously bashed in Sydney remains in a coma in intensive care with his friends and family around him, his mother says.
Police believe they have CCTV images of a group of men who bashed 26-year-old, Simon Cramp, in Sydney's CBD in the early hours of Sunday.
It is believed the attack was unprovoked.
Acting Rocks police superintendent Tony Bell compared the incident to the fatal attack on Thomas Kelly in Kings Cross last year.
Mr Kelly, 18, died last July two days after being king hit as he walked along the street during a night out with his girlfriend.
Spt Bell said shortly after 3.20 am (AEST) on Sunday there was a brawl involving two groups of people outside an all night fast food restaurant on the corner of George and Bridge streets.
One man was injured in that altercation.
Soon afterwards about four or five men launched what appears to be an unprovoked attack on Mr Cramp about 30 metres down the road.
"He's just there with his group of friends, doing nothing wrong at all," Spt Bell told Fairfax Radio.
"This could have been another Thomas Kelly incident - an innocent bystander doing nothing wrong, out having a great night ... with his friends and copping a punch to the head for no reason."
Mr Cramp remains heavily sedated in an induced coma in hospital but is moving his hands and feet and responding to his family, his mother Angela Cramp said.
She described the attack as "unfair, unreasonable and unexpected".
"You should be able to go out and enjoy an evening in Sydney with friends without ending up in a coma," she said.
