Police are appealing for the public's help with their investigation into an "unprovoked attack" on an elderly man in Onerahi.

The 80-year-old man was sitting in his ute in the carpark of the Onerahi Bowls Club on Alamein Ave when he was assaulted by unknown male around 6pm on July 10.

A police spokesman said the man had to undergo surgery to treat multiple facial injuries inflicted on him during the "unprovoked attacked".

Residents in the area were urged to check their CCTV footage to assist police with their investigation.
