A young man is in a serious but stable condition after being punched in the back of the head outside a pub on the NSW central coast.
Emergency services found the 24-year-old unconscious in the hotel's car park on Bonnal Road, Erina, around 12.45am on Saturday.
Police were told the wyong man had been punched in the back of the head by another man following an argument, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement.
He was taken to Gosford Hospital with serious head injuries, before being transferred to Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) in a critical condition.
His condition has since stabilised but remains serious, a RNSH spokeswoman told AAP.
