Don't like the sound of this at all, an opportunistic attack or something else that a Police's investigation will clear up?

In the article it is mentioned...

"Detective Sergeant Kerin Moloney from the Werribee criminal investigation unit said Mr Bunker's injuries were consistent with a "struggling, violent attack". He said there was no evidence at this point to suggest he had had an accident."

Lets hope the best for Glenn & his family for his recovery, and the police find out what really happened. :(

A father of three was viciously bashed in Melbourne's western suburbs last night after going shopping for a birthday present for his toddler son.

Glenn Bunker, 30, who was riding his bicycle last night when attacked near the Hoppers Crossing railway station, is still unable to speak after suffering a cracked skull and fractures to his eye sockets.

A passer-by noticed Mr Bunker around 10pm. He was still riding his bike despite the massive head injuries but was incoherent.

Mr Bunker's tearful wife, Di, today said her husband was returning home after going to several doctors' appointments and going shopping for a birthday present for one of their sons, who turns two on Monday.

Mrs Bunker described her husband as a "fun-loving family man" who had no enemies and had lived in Werribee all his life.

She said she had not yet told their three children - who are aged almost two, four and seven - about Mr Bunker's ordeal.

"They (the children) are already asking me where he is. I've said he's just at a friend's house, we'll get him later."

Mrs Bunker appealed to anyone with information to come forward.

"I really need your help. We've got three kids and . . . we need him to come home. Somebody has to be out there who knows what happened to him. They can't just do that and leave him there," she said.

Detective Sergeant Kerin Moloney from the Werribee criminal investigation unit said Mr Bunker's injuries were consistent with a "struggling, violent attack". He said there was no evidence at this point to suggest he had had an accident.

Mr Bunker had left home at 2pm and kept several doctors' appointments in Werribee before being attacked. His wallet and mobile phone were not stolen. He was not carrying any other valuables.

Mrs Bunker said doctors at the Royal Melbourne Hospital were still running tests to determine the extent of her husband's injuries. Detectives are hoping to speak to him later today to find out how he was attacked.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
