A man is recovering from a brain injury after an alleged assault in Sydney's west earlier this year, as police release new CCTV to assist with their investigations.

The brawl occurred in the car park of a community hall on Bridge Street at Lidcombe just before midnight on Saturday March 19.

CCTV shows a group of men standing around a Honda CRV in the car park before a fight, which left a 27-year-old man with serious head injuries.
