Sydney one-punch attacker ran from the scene because he believed victim was dead

A cowardly attacker who 'superman punched' a man from behind in a dark alley fled the scene when he saw his victim lying in a pool of blood, believing he was dead.  

Jorde Ewan was charged with causing grievous bodily harm after attacking 45-year-old Michael Murphy in a back alley at Kogarah, in Sydney's south, on June 15 2017.

Earlier that day his father Stephen Ewan had been involved in a parking dispute with Mr Murphy and had threatening him by saying: 'I'll kill you, I'll get my sons to f*** you up'.
