They were treated at the scene before being taken to Westmead Hospital where Kalim Saliba later died.
Joseph Saliba, Kalim Saliba's son, says he is still reeling from the loss of his father, has today appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
"Our family is devastated and we are urging anyone with information to contact police to share what they know, whatever that might be," Joseph Saliba said.
"Dad will be forever cherished by our family as a loving father, grandfather and friend taken from us too soon.

A strike force has been established to investigate the incident with police still searching for those responsible.
"Two masked men viciously attacked an elderly couple in their home, a place where they have the right to feel safe, resulting in a family losing a loving husband, father and grandfather," Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, said.
"Someone out there knows something and we are encouraging them to look into their conscience and come forward."
