“It has been established that the man was involved in a physical altercation with two other men in the Mindarie marina carpark on Ocean Falls Boulevard on Friday, December 9,’’ she said.
She said one of the men believed to have been involved was described as being fair skinned, early to mid-20s with a medium build and short blonde hair.
He was said to be wearing a grey singlet.
The second man was described as being fair skinned, early to mid-20s with a slim build and short dark hair.

The spokeswoman said the injured Butler man had been found about 7.15pm on Benenden Ave with serious head injuries.
“He was taken to Royal Perth Hospital where he underwent surgery for bleeding on the brain and fractures to his jaw and eye socket.
“He has since been released from hospital.
On Monday, December 12 a spokeswoman said the man was last seen by work colleagues on the Friday evening when he left a gathering on Benenden Ave to walk home.
“In particular, police would like to speak with the occupant of a red vehicle, possibly a 4WD, who stopped and provided initial first aid to the victim as he lay unconscious,’’ she said.
