A pair of Coffs Coast men remain protected by apprehended violence orders after being bashed over the head when alcohol-fuelled social gatherings devolved into violence.

Aping Nyijur Bol, 40, pleaded guilty in Coffs Harbour Local Court on July 29 to assaulting and wounding the men and stalking and intimidating one of them, a relative.

Court documents show Bol hit a distant nephew on the head with a long neck bottle of Tooheys beer at a Woolgoolga home.

Police attended the property on December 16, 2023 and observed “blood drops on the floor and blood on the side of a kitchen counter”.

The assault resulted in police putting in place an apprehended violence order (AVO) to protect the nephew.

The attack on his relative came after Bol recklessly wounded another man on August 26 last year.

Bol attacked a man he had been drinking with at Woolgoolga Beach, the documents state.

He “pushed the victim to the ground from behind and grabbed a number of sandstone rocks”.

“The accused used these rocks to hit the victim forcefully along the top of his head, resulting in a deep laceration to the left side of the victims forehead along with a smaller laceration to the left side of his head,” police state.

The victim attended Coffs Harbour Police Station to report the attack wearing a “blood soaked red shirt” and suffering from “two substantial lacerations to the head”.

Police used Google Maps to help track down “four rocks with blood stains on them” before arresting Bol and putting in place an AVO.

Bol, a South Sudanese national who has been living in Australia for 15 years, had a Dinka interpreter assisting him in court.

Magistrate Theresa Hamilton took note of Bol’s guilty pleas and listed the case for sentencing in the court on September 18.
