THE family of a man brutally bashed by a stranger in the Sydney CBD have pleaded for two men caught on camera to turn themselves in.
Matthew Blackmore, 33, was crossing George Street to catch a cab home around midnight last Sunday when an unknown man smashed him in the side of the face, in what police have described as an "vicious, unprovoked" attack.
He was knocked unconscious and fell face first onto the pavement, breaking his nose and striking his head.
The Maroubra banker remained in hospital on Sunday, and his sister Karen Blackmore said he faced a long recovery.
"It's one day at a time," she told reporters.
"He's struggling, to be honest ... he doesn't recall anything, he doesn't know why."
Detectives have now released CCTV footage of two men who are wanted for questioning over the incident.
One man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, with an athletic build and short brown hair.
He was wearing a black jacket, white button-up shirt, dark pants and white shoes.
The second man depicted in the footage also looks Caucasian, has a short stocky build and a shaved head.
He was dressed in a dark jacket, white shirt, black pants and black shoes.
City Central Local Area Command's Stephen Warren said CCTV video showed the two men pulling up in a dark 4WD to the CBD street where Mr Blackmore was bashed.
"The males that we wish to speak to are seen to get out of that vehicle, cross George Street, and moments later the assault on Matthew occurs," he told reporters in Sydney.
He said Mr Blackmore didn't know either man, but urged anyone who did recognise them to come forward.
"Tell us what you know, so that we can bring some comfort to this family and try to arrest the offenders," he said.
Acting Inspector Warren also revealed police have obtained CCTV footage of the assault itself.
Mark Blackmore told reporters it was time for his brother's attacker to come forward.
"It's been a week, you've had time to think about your actions," he said.
He's described his brother as "one of the lucky ones" because he escaped severe brain damage in the incident, but Matthew Blackmore still suffers memory loss, severe headaches and difficulty balancing.
