Left for dead: boy,10, joins in bashing:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
A man is in a coma after three boys, one as young as 10, bashed him with a letterbox attached to a metal pipe, leaving him bleeding on a road where he was struck by a car, NSW police say.
The boys, believed aged between 10 and 17, allegedly beat him with a letterbox attached to a metre-length piece of pipe.
Police said a passing motorist stopped and confronted the boys, and they fled, leaving their victim on the road with severe head injuries.
Before the injured man could be moved, a second car struck him, resulting in further injuries.
The 41-year-old man was treated at the scene for head injuries and rushed to Gosford Hospital in a serious condition, where he has later placed in a medically-induced coma.
Lord of the Flies anyone? When the official Doom season starts in 2008 Australia may get it's own division.
