One of the thugs then ripped the steel stove top from the cooker and smashed the man on the head, detective Acting Sergeant Kim Alp said.
She said the man’s two housemates attempted to stop the beating but couldn’t.
Sgt Alp said the gang left without stealing anything, but she said they aren’t known to each other and it was believed it was a random attack.
The injured man was taken to Dandenong Hospital with a broken nose and cuts and bruises to his head and back.
He has since been released and is recovering at his Wilma Avenue home in Dandenong.
His housemates weren’t injured in the brutal attack but police said they were investigating if there was a link between them and the trio, described as of African in appearance.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
