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.
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."
