A MAN was allegedly punched in the face multiple times after an attempted break and enter at a Southside property earlier this morning.
Paramedics and Police rushed to the property on Luckona Court at about 7.40am with initial reports stating a man had smashed a window at the front of the house, before allegedly approaching the victim and swinging a few punches at his head.
"The man has allegedly walked underneath the carport and confronted the resident before using a closed fist and punched the resident a few times in the face," a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said.
"The injury was not life-threatening."
The man then fled the property in a vehicle.
Paramedics confirmed they attended the private address and transported a man to the Gympie Hospital in a stable condition.
No charges have yet been laid.
