A One Nation volunteer has allegedly been left with serious injuries following a dispute after political signs on his home were allegedly interfered with.
The 60-year-old man was allegedly attacked with a baseball bat at his home on Scorpio Street in Torquay, south-west of Melbourne, at about 7.45pm on Sunday.

Police issued the 14-year-old boy a caution.
