King hit accused Shaun McNeil in court over New Year's Eve Kings Cross attack
A MAN accused of king hitting a teenager in an "horrific" attack that left him fighting for his life punched four other victims during the same assault, a Sydney court has heard.
Daniel Christie, 18, is in a critical condition in St Vincent's Hospital after he was punched in the face in Kings Cross during New Year's Eve celebrations. The court heard Mr Christie was shielding other alleged victims when he was punched by his alleged attacker, Shaun McNeil. Mr McNeil, 25, faced Parramatta Bail Court via videolink today where he cried as he was refused bail. He has been charged with one count of causing grievous bodily harm to Mr Christie, one count of assaulting Mr Christie's brother, Peter Christie, and two counts of common assault. Wearing a forensic suit, he said little during his court appearance. The attack occurred on the same street where teenage king-hit victim Thomas Kelly was killed in 2012. Acting Police Commissioner David Hudson said police were being updated on the 18-year-old's progress hourly adding that he remains in a critical condition. "Our thoughts are obviously with the victim's family and with him in his recovery hopefully," he told reporters. He said the police's swift action led to the alleged attacker's arrest before any other incidents could occur. "Police were very close by. They didn't actually witness the incident, but they were very close by and responded very quickly." It's the latest in a string of attacks in Sydney in recent times. Last month, Michael McEwen fell into a coma after he was assaulted at Bondi in Sydney's east following an altercation in a kebab shop. In another incident in December, a man was taken to intensive care after being king hit at a fast food restaurant in Oxford Street at Surry Hills. Police said the man had been involved in a verbal argument with another man at the restaurant and as he was leaving, the other man punched him to the side of the head, causing him to fall to the ground. CELEBRATION: Nation sees in 2014 with an eye to the future Elsewhere in the city, more than 100 New Year's Eve revellers were rescued from sinking boats in two separate incidents on Sydney Harbour. Three people were taken to hospital - one unconscious and in a serious condition - after their boat sank at 9.40pm (AEDT). And 100 partygoers were rescued from a yacht near Garden Island about 8pm (AEDT) when the vessel began taking on water. No one was injured in that incident. Overall, more than 170 people were arrested across NSW during the New Year festivities, as more than 3000 police officers took to the streets. They were charged with 222 offences including assault, robbery and drug offences. Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch said Sydney arguably saw the biggest crowds ever this year, with 1.6 million people crowding into the CBD to watch the fireworks displays. But only a small number of revellers misbehaved, he said. "Intoxication has been the most common issue of the evening and it has been a factor in many of the incidents where charges were laid," he said. Ten people were taken to sobering up centres, he added. Paramedics said they responded to an "unexpectedly" high number of calls, many of them related to violence, extreme intoxication and drink-related injuries.
