The traffic vehicle was parked on the side of Bellarine Highway in Point Lonsdale, regional Victoria, at about 8:50pm when the vandal approached the car.
Police said the camera operator was inside the car, which is owned and operated by the Department of Justice, during the attack but managed to drive away uninjured.

Assistant Commissioner Road Policing Glenn Weir on Thursday said the 'cowardly' attack was 'high-end criminal behaviour.'
'Absolutely terrifying to be sitting in a car doing your job in the dark and all of a sudden out of nowhere comes some lunatic who attacks you with a pole,' Mr Weir said.
'We will not put up with it.
'Anyone who wants to interfere with them (camera operators) will feel the full force of investigation and apprehension.'

On Anzac Day, a female road safety camera operator was inside her car in St Leonards when a masked man wielding a metal pole smashed the vehicles side mirrors.
Community and News Public Sector Union Julian Kennelly said an operator in Tullamarine was stalked before a number of people jumped out and attacked his car.
'He (the operator) was in the process of shifting locations … and a vehicle followed him down the road for five or 10 minutes,' Kennelly told the Herald Sun.
'He pulled over … and then both (the people in the other vehicle) jumped out of the vehicle and ran towards his vehicle launching pieces of wood at the camera's car.
Quite frightening.'
Mr Kennelly said a 'serial pest' in Parkdale had been interfering with operators for the past 14 months.

Victorian Investigators believe one offender may be responsible for a number of the attacks.
'These things are rare,' Assistant Commissioner Road Policing Mr Weir said.
'To have four in two months is unusual and to have two in such a location that is close together - obviously that's one of the lines of enquiry we're looking at whether it's the same person.'
Investigators would like to speak to anyone with information, dashcam footage or witnessed the attacks to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
