BOLT BLOG: NO MORE SYMPATHY, PLEASE

Security cameras captured the incident and Bolt can be seen fighting back, kicking and “clobbering” the masked offenders.

Bolt told The Bolt Report viewers on Tuesday evening: “Bad luck for them; I don’t do running and hiding.”

“Police are now looking for this young man, who will have a big bruise on the left side of his face and another bruise between his legs, for which I apologise, I guess, but I don’t really fight nice if I’m pushed too far,” Bolt said.

Anyone who witnessed the incident at the Il Gambero restaurant in Lygon St is urged to contact North Melbourne police on 03 8379 0800.
