The men were then violently assaulted in an unprovoked attack.

One of the victims, an 18-year-old man, suffered serious facial injuries that require ongoing hospital treatment.

Another victim, also an 18-year-old man, suffered a slash wound to his hip, suggesting that a knife was used during the assault.
