Police are investigating a serious assault in Frankston this month.
It’s believed a 50-year-old Sandhurst man was approached by an unknown male who was walking past a business on Young Street at pm on 8 March.
The offender struck the victim in the face with a metal pole as he walked past the shop door where the man had been standing at the time, talking to a woman.
The offender kept walking toward Park Lane after the assault and was not known to the victim.
The victim was transported to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives have released images of a man they believe will be able to assist with their enquiries.
