Man, 20, charged over Sydney assault

A MAN has been charged with the attempted murder of a young Cork man left in a coma after a brutal robbery and assault in Australia.

The 20-year-old man was arrested in a Sydney suburb yesterday after a police breakthrough in the investigation into the attack on David Keohane, 29.

The Ballyvolane native was viciously assaulted and left for dead after walking home from a party in Coogee in Sydney’s eastern beaches area on August 9.
