Police have decided not to lay charges against Senator Fraser Anning after he attacked a teenager who cracked an egg over his head.

Anning was in the middle of a press conference when 17-year-old Will Connolly smashed an egg into the politician's head, prompting the Senator to turn around and hit the teen twice.

Police have determined Anning was acting in self-defence while Connolly has received an official caution.

A police statement said: "The 17-year-old Hampton boy has been issued with an official caution in relation to the incident. On assessment of all the circumstances, the 69-year-old's actions were treated as self-defence and there was no reasonable prospect of conviction."

But Victorian Police are still searching for a man who allegedly kicked Connolly several times after he was tackled to the ground following the egg incident.

This is the man police are looking to speak to.

Victoria Police said: "Police were monitoring a speaking engagement which had been organised at a venue on Roberna Street about 2pm.

"The speeches had concluded when an altercation took place between a 17-year-old Hampton boy and a 69-year-old Queensland man.

"An egg was broken on the 69-year-old man's head by the 17-year-old boy when a scuffle took place and the teenager was taken to the ground by bystanders.

"While the 17-year-old boy was being held on the ground, another male has approached and kicked him in the body a number of times.

"Investigators have released an image of a male they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries."
