The alleged incident involved a group of young men allegedly targeting a couple outside the popular live music venue, the Spa Bar at around 8pm.
Police interviewed three people, before charging two men – one from Melton and one from Shepherd’s Flat – with assault. The men will appear in court in December.
A spokesperson from Daylesford Police Station said there was no evidence leading them to believe the victims’ sexual orientation had anything to do with them being targeted, but said alcohol was a factor in the violence.
The spokesperson said the police were seeking witnesses who assisted the victims after the incident, as well as passersby who may have taken video footage which could assist their investigation.
Anybody with information is urged to contact Daylesford Police Station on 5348 2342 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
