Bendigo Police are investigating an assault that occurred at a music festival in Bendigo last month.
A 41-year-old Ascot man attended the event at Bendigo Racecourse with friends on Saturday, 25 March.
The man was seen heading to a dance floor area at the event where he had an encounter with another male about 9.30pm.
Investigators have been told an incident occurred which resulted in both men ending up on the ground.
The 41-year-old man got up and attempted to run away but was chased down by the other man and punched in the back of the head, causing him to lose consciousness.
