Shortly after midnight, the man was walking along the Gold Coast Highway when he was approached by two men asking for money for the bus.

The man was then taken to a nearby park and assaulted.

The offenders fled the scene on foot, and were last seen heading north on the Gold Coast Highway.

The 24-year-old man sustained bruising and abrasions to the head and a suspected fractured jaw.

The first offender is described as Pacific Islander in appearance, approximately 183cms tall with a proportionate build.
