SYDNEY, Nov 26 AAP - Police are searching for a group of men who so severely bashed a teenager at a Sydney birthday party he was unrecognisable and needed hospital treatment.
The 17-year-old boy was beaten and robbed at a 16th birthday party at Castle Hill, in Sydney's north west, on October 25, police said.
At least three young men attacked the boy about 10.30pm (AEDT) at the party on Nanette Place, punching and kicking him, and stealing a number of personal items.
