SA: Reason for vicious assault still a mystery

Police are mystified by a vicious assault on a 54-year-old Port Augusta man.

A police spokesman says the man suffered a fractured skull, knife wounds and several broken
bones when he was attacked while sitting on the front verandah of his house about 11.10pm.

The man is undergoing surgery in the Royal Adelaide Hospital after being airlifted from the
Port Augusta Hospital overnight.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested and charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm.
