Two men have been charged after a 60-year-man was allegedly bashed with a stick and a baseball bat in Nanango on Australia Day.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-Charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Duane Frank, said the man had been drinking alcohol with friends at his home in South Street, Nanango, when a vehicle pulled up at the house.<\/p>\n

Police will allege there was a verbal altercation before the man was struck on the head with a large stick.<\/p>\n

The assault allegedly continued after he fell to the ground, with more blows to his head and back from the stick.<\/p>\n

Snr Sgt Frank said the victim then spotted a second man coming towards him with a baseball bat.<\/p>\n

This man allegedly struck the man on the arm while he was still lying on the ground. Both men then allegedly used their weapons to strike the victim more.<\/p>\n

The man’s friends came out of the house, an altercation ensued and the two men fled the scene in a vehicle.<\/p>\n

Snr Sgt Frank said the victim suffered bruising to his arms and legs, and cuts to the head.<\/p>\n

He was taken to Kingaroy Hospital and then transferred to Toowoomba Hospital.<\/p>\n

A 24-year-old Nanango man and a 33-year-old Kingaroy man appeared in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Monday charged with assault occasioning bodily harm while armed in company.<\/p>\n

They were remanded to re-appear on February 16.<\/p>\n

Snr Sgt Frank said the 30-year-old man was wanted on an arrest warrant for failing to appear in court on traffic offences.<\/p>\n

A search of the car allegedly located a drug utensil.<\/p>\n
