Police are continuing their hunt for the "gutless" man who put a 73-year-old in hospital — and have released CCTV of a suspect.
The elderly victim had parked his car in Strathfield, in Sydney's inner west, to pick up a pizza just after 5pm on Monday when a white Toyota sedan reversed into the back of his Mazda, News Corp reports.
As the victim tried to take a photograph of the Toyota's registration plate, a male passenger got out of the vehicle, grabbed the phone and punched the older man in the head, causing him to fall back on the concrete.
The victim was taken to hospital with a fractured neck and head injuries.
He remained in hospital last night with his wife and children by his side.
"The fact any form of violence has occurred as a result of this incident is disgusting," Inspector Stuart Sweeney said.
"It's a gutless, cowardly act and we are really seeking the assistance of members of the public who were out at that time to come forward."
Police have released CCTV from a nearby business showing a man they believe to be the attacker, who is described as being in his 30s.
He was last seen running away from the scene. The female driver of the Toyota drove off without him.
