Police investigate assault in Mornington

Police are investigating an assault at a Mornington shopping centre last month that left a security guard injured.

Investigators have been told security staff told a man to leave the centre around 9pm for unruly behaviour.

The man initially complied, walking toward the exit with the security guard behind him.

The offender turned when he reached the exit and punched the security guard multiple times to the face before walking away.

The guard was treated for swelling, bruising and cuts to his face.

Investigators have released an image of a man they believe can assist with their enquiries.
