Teenager fights for life after being king-hit in Kings Cross Police at the crime scene / Picture: Craig Greenhill Source: DailyTelegraph A TEENAGER is fighting for his life after he was assaulted just metres from the spot where Thomas Kelly was king hit and later died. On the crowded party streets of Kings Cross as the early evening fireworks exploded above the harbour, the teenager's head smashed into the ground after an argument outside the Mercure Hotel on Victoria Street. Like Mr Kelly, the victim is just 18 and doctors were battling to save his life at St Vincent's Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery before being transferred to intensive care. Police could not confirm reports that the victim was also king hit but said a man in his early 20s with whom he was allegedly arguing had been arrested and taken to Kings Cross police station.
