An international student has recalled the terrifying moment he was allegedly beaten with a metal pole in a neighbourhood dispute.
Emergency services were called to a Plumpton home in western Sydney about 11.40pm last Wednesday, following reports of an alleged assault.
They arrived to find a group of Pakistani students assisting their housemate Talha Javed, 22, who was lying injured on the concrete driveway.
Footage capturing the confrontation allegedly showed their neighbour approaching the house wielding a metal pole.
He can be heard repeatedly telling the young men to ‘keep the f****** noise down’.
Cameraman Jawad Ali is heard claiming in the clip, ‘I never did anything, brother’.
Moments later, Mr Javed appeared from the home inquiring about the commotion.
The neighbour then allegedly attacked Mr Javed with the metal pole.

He added the students had even given police permission to inspect the house for any musical speakers to confirm to claim.
He said he and his friends are now thinking about moving elsewhere.
