Man found lying injured in Sydney road after suspected robbery

A man has been hospitalised with head injuries after police believe he was attacked at an industrial complex in Sydney’s west.

Police were called to reports of an injured 51-year-old man lying in the middle of Punchbowl Road in Belfield just before midnight yesterday.

He was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to St George Hospital, where he remains in a stable condition.

He was then punched in the face.

Police do not know how many people were involved in the assault.
