Senior Sergeant Jody Nobbs says the 36-year-old man was set upon by between four and five men and youths in the post office car park at about 4.30pm yesterday.
"It's certainly so far as we're concerned a situation in isolation but it's more than a scary situation.
"It was a cowardly attack, unprovoked and thuggish behaviour essentially."
The man has been treated in Alice Springs Hospital, needing staples for head cuts and swelling.
It is the second time this week someone has been bashed for refusing to give people cigarettes.
Police allege a 16-year-old and a 21-year-old smashed a bottle over another man's head when he knocked back their request on Gap Road on Monday night.
They have been charged with aggravated assault and being armed with an offensive weapon.
