A Perth tourist has been bled and bruised after being hit by strangers in Leederville while waiting for a taxi.
Spencer Goggin, 32, suffered from black, swollen eyes and his face was covered in cuts and bruises following the random attack in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Goggin was hit in the back and hit in the head, so he didn’t look at his attackers, but he hopes the confrontational footage of his injuries will make the witnesses appear.

“I still feel very lucky to be here, but no one should feel lucky to be back home safe after a night out,” Goggin told 9News.
“I could only hear his girlfriends, his girlfriends or his girlfriends in the background yelling at them and saying ‘stop, get him down, get him down.'”
The Sydney fitness trainer was alone after celebrating a teammate’s birthday and says the night could have ended in a very different way for him.
“The only reason this isn’t a different story is because I put my hand under my head and it bounced off my arm instead of the curb,” Goggin said.

Somehow, the 32-year-old got up and took a taxi to Fiona Stanley Hospital, where he was treated for a severe concussion.
“I can’t do anything but walk right now without feeling sick,” he said.
Goggin not only wants his attackers to be found, he wants senseless violence to be stopped, even by issuing a plea on social media.

“I don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” he told 9News.
