A far-right activist accused of kicking a teenager dubbed Egg Boy after his attack on Senator Fraser Anning is wanted for questioning by police.
The now infamous incident took place in Moorabbin in Melbourne's south-east, on March 16 when 17-year-old Will Connolly cracked an egg on the back of Senator Anning's head.
Mr Connolly was slapped in the face twice by the senator, tackled to the ground and put in a choke-hold by four men.
Police on Monday released a photo of a man, who they allege kicked Mr Connolly numerous times while he was being held to the ground.
Mr Connolly said he felt compelled to egg Senator Anning after he blamed Muslim immigration for the terror attacks on two New Zealand mosques that left 50 worshippers dead.
Both he and Senator Anning have been interviewed by police and the investigation into the initial incident remains ongoing.

Another one of the right-wing activists who restrained Egg Boy posted a vile rant about the Christchurch mosque massacre online.
Neil Erikson described the terrorist attack that killed 50 people and left dozens more in hospital, as 'karma'.
He also said blame was being wrongfully placed on the far-right movement including controversial right-wing Senator Anning.

Erikson was identified as one of the men who attacked 17-year-old Will Connolly after he cracked an egg on Senator Anning's head at a rally.
He intervened and held the teenager's head to the ground as three other men restrained his neck, torso and legs.
Following the incident, he posted online and described the far-right movement as 'the sleeping dragon that has now awoken'.
'It is karma, this is what happens when you attack a people for so long,' he said.

'I am not surprised this happened. I am not condoning terrorism or going out and shooting people, but what do you expect when your religion goes around beheading, murdering, raping white Christians particularly in the western world.'
He said the Muslim community can't 'play the victim' now and commented on media attention and public outrage surrounding the attack.
In a statement after the Christchurch mosque massacre, Senator Anning said Muslim immigration was to blame.
'The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place.
'Let us be clear, while Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators.'

New Zealand Mosque Shooting
Speaking following reports of multiple shootings at two Mosques in New Zealand earlier today, Senator Fraser Anning has responded with strong condemnation.
'I am utterly opposed to any form of violence within our community, and I totally condemn the actions of the gunman,' he said.
'However, whilst this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence.
'As always, left-wing politicians and the media will rush to claim that the causes of today's shootings lie with gun laws or those who hold nationalist views but this is all cliched nonsense.
Anning has sparked outrage after blaming immigration for the mosque shootings in New Zealand
'The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place.
'Let us be clear, while Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators. World-wide, Muslims are killing people in the name of their faith on an industrial scale.
'The entire religion of Islam is simply the violent ideology of a sixth century despot masquerading as a religious leader, which justifies endless war against anyone who opposes it and calls for the murder of unbelievers and apostates.
'The truth is that Islam is not like any other faith. It is the religious equivalent of fascism. And just because the followers of this savage belief were not the killers in this instance, does not make them blameless.
'As we read in Matthew 26:52, 'all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword' and those who follow a violent religion that calls on them to murder us, cannot be too surprised when someone takes them at their word and responds in kind,' Senator Anning concluded.
