Those nearby patched up his grazed head before calling for help.

"I hope he is OK. He's a very good man, we love him," one local said.

The attacker, who took off in a Toyota Prado, remained on the run tonight, prompting police to release vision of the aftermath to help track him down. 

He was described as 183 centimetres tall and aged between 17 to 19 with a black mullet and dark complexion.

Rossmoyne Primary School teachers stepped in to fill Colin's shift this afternoon as he recovered.

"It's very important for them to know that it's going to be safe for them to keep our kids safe on the streets and what has happened to Colin is really sad," City of Canning Councillor Shen Sekhon said.
