A 33-year-old man is fighting for his life in hospital after he was assaulted in a fight in Gosnells early this morning.

It is believed the man had been at a friend’s 30th birthday party at a Walter Street house.

Witnesses reported that youths were causing a disturbance in the street and a fight started when party-goers told them to leave the area.

Armadale Det-Sgt Craig Collins said several men and women attending the party had been injured in the altercation in the street.

He said some of them had received medical treatment for their injuries but none except the 33-year-old had been admitted to hospital.

Police were called to the scene in Walter Street about 1am. Det-Sgt Collins said the first police to arrive saw people fighting but they quickly dispersed.

The 33-year-old was found injured in a nearby park.

Police are questioning several people over the incident but are also appealing for witnesses.

“We are calling on witnesses, either those involved in the incident or those who may be able to provide information to the investigation to come forward,” he said.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
