Andrew Dixon was just thirty seconds away from his parked car when a gang confronted him in Flemington, in Melbourne’s north west.

He'd been out on a Monday night and was walking along Holland Court, when a group of men of African appearance approached him after emerging from commission housing.

One offender kicked Mr Dixon viciously across his body and he fell to the ground. He was then punched and kicked repeatedly in the head.

"He started punching the left side of my head repeatedly and then started kicking me in the guts," the victim recalled.

Mr Dixon said two more thugs joined in and at one point he fell unconscious.

The gang stole his phone, wallet and keys and left him injured in a garden bed.

After regaining consciousness, Mr Dixon found a group of people about 20 metres up the street. He asked them for help, but that's when he said he was attacked a second time- three men punched and kicked him in the face.

The unprovoked attack left the 30-year-old student with no vision in one eye for three days. He was taken to hospital and told 9NEWS he was “terrified”.

"If you can't feel safe walking around Melbourne on a Monday night without everything getting taken from you, what comes next?"

Detectives are hunting the men responsible for the assault, which took place about 12.30am on Tuesday December 5.

"It's certainly a vicious, random attack. Mr Dixon's very lucky the injuries weren't worse," Detective Senior Constable Sean Nicholson said.
