Controversial commentator Andrew Bolt has posted pictures and video on his blog of the men who attacked him outside a Melbourne book launch.
"Watch the fascist Left attack me and get clobbered," he posted.
"Luckily the cameras do not capture me kicking one between the legs. I cannot have my children see me acting like a thug."
He's urged anyone who recognises the men to contact police.
Two men attacked the Sky News host and News Corp Australia columnist after a book launch at an Italian restaurant on Melbourne's famous Lygon St at 12.15pm on Tuesday.

Bolt told Sky News he was approached by a woman who wanted a selfie when he was "jumped".
"Two masked protesters then jumped me, spraying me in the face and all over my suit with some sticky liquid with some glitter and dye,' he said.
The columnist called the men "left-wing fascists" on Twitter and said it was a "cowardly" attack, which shows "another warning of the rising violence of the left".
Victoria Police say the two men were wearing hooded jumpers and were believed to have thrown shaving cream and glitter.
