A teenager faces painful jaw reconstruction surgery and six weeks on liquids after he was randomly attacked on his way to get pizza.

Tyla D'Arcy, 18, was with his girlfriend and two younger friends on Saturday when the group were confronted by a group of men in their mid-20s in a car park in Leederville, north-west of central Perth.

A fight allegedly broke out about 5pm between the groups and footage obtained by 7 News shows the teenager's friend being knocked to the ground.

Mr D'Arcy told the broadcaster he did not see the blow to his face coming.

'I got knocked back and blacked out for a second,' he said.

He lost three teeth in the fight and will have two more extracted during surgery to fix his jaw. They will be replaced with a plate. 

Mr D'Arcy's surgery means he will have to live on liquids only for six weeks and will spend a week in hospital.

His attackers are yet to be charged, but 7 News reported the teenager's family believe police know the people behind the brutal punch. 

Daily Mail Australia have contacted WA Police for further comment.

The teenager lost three teeth in the altercation, and will lose two more when he undergoes surgery. He will be forced on to a liquid only diet for the next six weeks as his jaw heals
