A father has described the terrifying moment he begged for his life after he was allegedly beaten by the new owners of his recently-sold shisha cafe in a business deal gone wrong.

Raj Makdesi, from Melbourne, says he met with the owners of his former business at 11.30pm on February 26 to collect the final payment of $15,000 that was supposedly waiting for him in the back room.

As he sat down to wait, Mr Makdesi alleges one of the men began slamming his elbow into his side before forcing him into a room and attacking him with knives and the stand of a Shisha pipe.

'I felt like I was seriously going to die, I could never see my family again - I begged them to stop,' Mr Makdesi told A Current Affair on Wednesday night.

CCTV footage captured most of the horrific ordeal, including Mr Makdesi tripping and falling as he tried to escape to the back exit door of the business.

Customers began to flee the cafe as two more large men arrived to join in on the attack.

The Melbourne father managed to crawl outside, but one of his attackers followed him and slammed a golf club into his head.

Once he fell unconscious, the men retreated back inside the cafe. Mr Makdesi managed to call an ambulance and his wife before crawling to the street.

'He just said to me, "I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding",' Selena Makdesi told the program.

The father suffered severe gashes to his elbow and head, bruising all over his body and extensive damage to his eye.

He underwent a marathon seven-hour surgery to repair the damage, but has frequent hospital check ups to monitor his injuries.

Police said the investigation into the attack is ongoing and no one has yet been charged.
