No arrests have been made yet. Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley revealed the attack followed a verbal dispute on Tavistock Road. He said:
“We believe Dariusz was attacked by a group of males who then fled in different directions. The area was busy with passing traffic, so drivers or residents might have captured dash cam or doorbell footage.”
