'Revenge' attack

Australia -- The sister of a Sydney teenager bashed by a gang of balaclava-clad men says it was revenge for a nightclub incident.

Linda, who did not wish to give her last name, told how her 18-year-old brother Lee was left with a fractured skull, broken left wrist, stitches to his head and severe bruising to his right arm after being beaten by 15 men armed with baseball bats and metal poles.

Linda said the attack was retribution for an incident at a bar four weeks ago, when Lee and three of his cousins had an encounter with the other men.

The attack last night was not the first time the gang has sought revenge for the nightclub incident, she said.

They had attacked one of the cousins from the nightclub, David, 25, as he left the gym two weeks ago. She said 20 of them turned up, wearing balaclavas but David, who has a black belt in tae kwon do, chased them off.
