Witnesses called to come forward after pub punch

A SPRINGVALE South man remains in intensive care more than a week after an altercation outside the Waltzing Matilda Hotel.
The 24-year-old left the venue in Heatherton Road, Springvale, with another man about 11.10pm on Friday 5 June and they argued in the car park.
Police believe the victim was punched to the face and fell to the ground.
A passer-by raised the alarm and notified emergency services.
The victim regained consciousness and was taken to Monash Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
Police arrested a 20-year-old Endeavour Hills man at the scene, interviewed him and released him pending further inquiries.
It is believed the two men knew each other.
Dandenong CIU detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
In particular they would like to speak to the driver of a dark-coloured vehicle that was in the area at the time of the incident and an older gentleman who was at the scene.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
