A gunman's attempt to rob a Melbourne pub while wearing underwear on his head and a cape has failed.
The would-be robber, wearing a makeshift disguise, demanded cash and threatened a staff member with a firearm at a Port Melbourne hotel early on Wednesday.
His plan failed when the staff ran out of money and the agitated man fled empty-handed.
No one was injured and police patrols were unable to find the man.
Police released CCTV footage on Monday in an attempt to identify the bumbling perpetrator.
The footage shows the man wearing dark fabric draped around him like a cape and dark-colored underpants on his head.
He tripped over the 'cape' and fell while fleeing the scene.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
