Critically injured Bradley Frost did not know two men who allegedly attacked him at Modbury, court told

Videos have emerged of the moments before and after a vicious bashing in Modbury that critically injured 60-year-old Bradley Frost, as one alleged attacker appears in court.

A man left with critical head injuries did not know the men who attacked him, a court has heard.

On Friday, a 32-year-old Modbury North man appeared in court charged with assault causing serious harm over the incident on Victoria Drive in Modbury just after 3pm on Thursday.

Bradley Frost, 60, was left with life-threatening injuries after he was allegedly attacked by two men on pushbikes.

During the brief court hearing Magistrate Justin Wickens was asked to issue a warrant of apprehension for a second man believed to have been involved in the assault.

The court heard police suspected the man was actively avoiding police.

Mr Wickens issued the warrant and also placed an interim suppression order on the names of both accused while the investigation is underway.

A police prosecutor told the court identification would be an issue and Mr Frost did not know the men who allegedly attacked him.

She said the two men had allegedly been involved in an “altercation” with the victim and returned a short time later to allegedly assault him.

The court heard multiple witnesses were being interviewed by police and would be required to complete identification procedures.

The 32-year-old man, who appeared via phone from the Royal Adelaide Hospital where he was being treated for injuries to his hand, will appear in court in two weeks for a bail application.

In the moments after the attack, Mr Frost’s brother, who was also allegedly attacked, and neighbours frantically trying to help the 60-year-old.

“Help, please,” a man can be heard yelling.

“Someone call an ambulance.”
