Truck driver hit with bottle, crowbar in Sydney’s west - The Sydney Morning Herald

A truck driver is in hospital after being seriously assaulted by a group of young men in Sydney’s west on Friday.

The 53-year-old man was driving a semi-trailer on Pendock Road in Cranebrook when rocks were allegedly thrown at his vehicle by some people who ran off when he stopped his truck and got out holding a crowbar.

However, as he returned to the truck, he was approached by a group of six men, aged in their 20s and carrying bottles.

While climbing back into the cabin of his truck, the driver was allegedly hit on the back of the head with a bottle, dragged out of the truck and repeatedly punched, kicked and hit with his crowbar.

The men ran off when a witness intervened.

Police attended the scene and the driver was taken to Nepean Hospital with cuts to the head and body and possible rib fractures.

A police spokeswoman said he was still in hospital on Saturday morning but was “reportedly going to be OK”.

Descriptions of the men have been provided to police but the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made, she said.
