"So I just followed her through and then she turned around, saw me, stepped back and I put my window down to apologise in case she was startled and she started to abuse me," he said.

After some back and forth, Ian continued on to his caravan but the woman followed.

The 70-year-old said she left but 20 minutes later, as he was cooking a steak, two men turned up.

Ian said the "gutless pieces of shit" left him with a bruised face, busted eye and bleeding on the brain.

Injured but conscious, he drove himself to Narre Warren police station, where officers called an ambulance.

He has made an official report, provided witness statements and has CCTV of a tradie van he said the men were travelling in.

"Police have been given a lot of information to lead to this person, but yeah, at this stage we're still waiting for that to happen, for an arrest to be made or even an interview," Ian's son Michael said.

Police confirmed they were investigating.

With his holiday cut short and the van in storage, Ian is desperate for more to be done.

"To be beaten like that, it's just so bloody close ... the next one's in a box in the ground."
