Acting Inspector Michael Capon said police have reason to believe the incident is related to a pub raid.
“We have information that there was a confrontation before that evening between two men inside an authorized venue,” he said.
“And then there was a street clash on Bunnerong Road that morning.”
Capon said the man appeared to have been injured by punches and then crashed into the road.
“These one-off style blows are extremely dangerous for the victims involved,” he said.
Police have issued a description of a man who he believes can help with the inquiries.
He is described as Caucasian with a solid build and about 183 cm in height.
He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, white shorts, a dark hat and a right arm model.
