A sixth teenager has been charged over a group assault and robbery in Sydney's west in January that left a man with serious brain injuries.
The 22-year-old was attacked by seven people in Lidcombe early on Sunday January 17, after chasing a 14-year-old girl who had snatched his phone, police said.
He was rushed to Westmead Hospital with serious head injuries and is expected to remain in intensive care for several months.
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with reckless grievous bodily harm in company, steal from person and breach of bail and is expected to front a children's court on Monday.
A 16-year-old boy and two 14-year-old girls have already been charged, while two other girls, aged 14 and 15, have received official cautions in line with the Young Offenders Act.
