Two men from the Eastern States who had been working in WA as miners were left with serious injuries after they were allegedly bashed by two men in Mandurah last night.

Sgt Gerry Cassidy said the men had been drinking at a number of local pubs when they were allegedly beaten in an unprovoked assault near the Silver Sands Tavern on Mandurah Terrace.

He said pair, who were mine workers visiting Mandurah for conference, had walked across the road from the tavern to a service station and were allegedly attacked when they returned with some food to a grassed area.

According to Sgt Cassidy, a 33-year-old man from Queensland was punched in the head by one of two men before his 44-year-old friend from Adelaide was allegedly bashed when he came to his aid.

He was allegedly knocked to the ground before the two attackers stomped on and kicked his head.

It is understood both men were taken by ambulance to the Peel Health Campus.

Sgt Cassidy said police arrested a 25-year-old Mandurah man and a 26-year-old Mount Hawthorn man nearby about an hour later after they were seen fleeing from the area.
They were charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and will appear in the Mandurah Magistrate's Court on January 7.


Mandurah motorist's windscreen 'speared'

A 22-year-old woman narrowly missed being speared last night after a group of youths allegedly threw a metal stake at car in Mandurah.

Police spokesman Samuel Dinnison said officers from the Mandurah police station were called Mandurah Road in Dudley Park shortly before 10.30pm following reports a group of people had been hurling objects at passing cars.

He said one woman had been left "distraught" when a star picket pierced her windscreen and "appeared to have missed her by millimetres".

Another metal stake is also believed to have struck the top of the woman's car before bouncing off.
Mr Dinnison said police chased the alleged offenders and four youths had been taken into custody.
