About 10pm on Wednesday 1 July 2020, between 10 and 15 people forced entry to a property at Quipolly, about 60km south-west of Tamworth, assaulting the 49-year-old male resident.
The group ransacked the home before assaulting a second man and leaving the property.
Emergency services responded and treated the first man for serious head and facial injuries.
He was taken to Tamworth Base Hospital for treatment, before being airlifted to John Hunter Hospital suffering a significant brain injury.
