St Kilda Football Club can confirm that Sam Fisher was the victim of an unprovoked attack while leaving a city nightspot on Saturday night.

Sam was struck in the back of the head by an individual not known to him, requiring stitches.

The incident was unwarranted and Sam did not fight back or retaliate. Upon notifying venue security, Sam Fisher immediately left the location, contacted the Club and returned home.

Fisher yesterday reported the incident with Victoria Police who will be investigating the matter.
