A MAN sitting in an outdoor cafe has been glassed in a savage street attack caught on security camera in St Kilda.
The sickening attack happened on Acland St about 1.30am on Thursday.
Police have been told a 27-year-old Essendon man and several friends were sitting in an outside cafe when they were approached by two women who had just walked out of a nearby nightclub with another man.
The two women, who appeared to be affected by alcohol, stopped at the table and spoke to the group for a short time before moving away.
The man then approached the table and was talking to the group when he grabbed a glass off the table and struck the victim in the face.
The man then walked off along the footpath towards Barkly St.
Two of the victim's friends caught up with the offender, but after a short scuffle he broke free and ran off.
The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to the Epworth Hospital.
The offender is described as Caucasian, about 180cm tall, medium build, with short dark hair with a Scottish accent.
