Subsequently, the assailants and their group exited the club and awaited the victim and his friend outside. They subjected the victim to a brutal beating, resulting in extensive injuries across his body and severe bleeding from his head. The outside area was stained with blood, prompting immediate transport of the victim to the nearest hospital.

Numerous foreign tourists attempted to intervene in the altercation at a Bali nightclub, but the perpetrator and his gang proved significantly stronger and more aggressive. According to 9News Australia, MS underwent a medical procedure requiring 10 stitches and sustained severe injuries to the eyes, jaw, and head.

Originally in Bali for a holiday, MS had plans to attend his brother’s wedding on Wednesday (29/11/2023). However, due to this incident, he lost several valuables including his phone, passport, cash, and various other items. He had to delay his return to Australia to attend to his paperwork matters in Bali.

The Denpasar police are presently managing the assault incident at the Bali Nightclub. As stated by the Head of the Public Relations Section, AKP I Ketut Sukandi, authorities have apprehended the primary perpetrator identified as SDL, a 22-year-old from New Zealand, and are conducting a thorough investigation. Meanwhile, efforts to locate and apprehend several other perpetrators who remain at large are ongoing.
