The 30-year-old suffered a broken jaw, a shattered eye socket, swelling and bleeding on the brain.

He later had surgery to insert metal plates into his face.

Mr Lyons fiancée, Danni Shoobert, was devastated by the attack and angry somebody could leave her partner for dead.

"I'm just really upset and I feel sorry for Shane and I'm so angry that somebody could so this," she told 9 News Perth.

"He did not deserve this... I mean no one deserves it, but Shane definitely does not deserve it."

Jess Smith who found Mr Lyons lying in the driveway around 7.30pm on Friday said the 30-year-old was covered in blood and not moving.

She said there was a large limestone rock lying next to Mr Lyons.

"He had a laceration to the face - had blood coming down his face and blood on his clothes," she said.

Police are expected to interview Mr Lyons when he recovers from his operation.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
