A man was rushed to hospital with head injuries after being violently attacked by a man with a kebab shop table.
The 23-year-old Melbourne man, Joe, was sitting at a table with his friend when a near by man threw another table in his face because of an argument about a chair.
Footage shows a friend rushing to comfort the victim before the stranger brutally knocks him away and beats Joe to the ground.

Another man then steps in and punches the two friends before a witness before stepped in to stop the fight at South Yarra.
The 23-year-old was taken to hospital early Sunday morning with a black eye and lump on his head, 7 News reports.
Joe told 7 News he was lucky his injuries weren’t worse and that he could have died.
‘Like it was really, really lucky that I managed to survive it with the little injuries that I have,’ he said.
The young man told the media outlet the attack broke out after the stranger wanted to sit in the nearby chair, which was already being used by Joe’s friend.
However, the local kebab shop owner said these violent attacks happened weekly.
