A Bay man described how two men arrived at his door step pleading for help after being assaulted at a party nearby that had got out of control.
Matthew Biddick was asleep at a Mountain Rd residence about three kilometres from the party address when he was woken by two males who had fled the party claiming they were being chased and asking for help.
"They ran up and knocked on the door and they were saying, 'Please can you help us, can you help us' and kind of begging for their lives in a way," said Mr Biddick.
Mr Biddick said the owner of the property let the two males inside while people continued to drive up and down the road looking for them.
It is believed the people fleeing were initially inside a vehicle that was attacked by a group of people before they escaped and ran for their lives.
Mr Biddick said the vehicle was then later brought to the house saying the car was "completely wrecked" with the doors kicked in and windows smashed.
Mr Biddick said a parent of one of the males collected her son and police were interviewing the other male about a vehicle that struck another partygoer earlier on.
The cause of the party getting out of control is unknown as yet.
"It's crazy. I don't see how that turns into someone dying and people fleeing for their lives," he said.
