An unprovoked attack in south-east Melbourne has left a man drifting in and out of consciousness on the sidewalk.
The victim was walking on the footpath towards three other men on Thursday evening, when one took a swing at him, knocking him to the ground.
CCTV footage captured the assault on Frankston’s busiest highway, and has been released in hopes of finding the attacker.

The footage starts with the victim in a grey hoodie walking towards the three men.
The rightmost man of the three puts himself in the path of the victim, lurching towards him and knocking him to the ground with one punch.
He falls to the ground and appears to lose consciousness for a few seconds, before sitting with his head in his hands, looking in the direction the three men were heading.
As the three men approach the camera, they can be seen looking over their shoulders at the victim, laughing.
The victim was punched in the face by one of the three men, who is wearing a jacket with high-visibility sleeves
The two men who did not participate in the assault seem undisturbed by the sudden and violent attack, one of them laughing and holding his jaw.
The attacker, wearing a high visibility jacket, can be seen puffing out his chest.
The floored man eventually gets up and walks off, leaving his broken dentures at the scene, according to Victoria Police.
