Senator Fraser Anning has been egged at an organised event in Melbourne which saw protestors and supporters of the controversial identity clash in wild scenes.
It came as Prime Minister Scott Morrison slammed the Queensland Senator in the wake of the fatal Christchurch mosque massacre.
Senator Anning had earlier been widely condemned for his “disgusting” comments after he released a media statement yesterday afternoon, in which he said the attacks highlighted the “growing fear over an increasing Muslim presence” in Australian and New Zealand communities.
He went on to claim the real cause of the bloodshed that’s left at least 49 people dead is New Zealand’s immigration policy.
At the event in Moorabbin, on Saturday, a man can be seen smashing an egg over the senator’s head as he was speaking at a press conference. The man was filming on his phone as he smashed the egg on top of Mr Anning’s head.
A shocked Mr Anning slapped the man’s face in response before a fight broke out.
The man was held down and questioned by officials before being led away by police.
UPDATE: A teenage boy has egged controversial Senator Fraser Anning, midway through a press conference at his Melbourne appearance… the Senator responded by hitting him in the head.. and the boy was then tackled to the ground and held before police arrived. @7NewsMelbourne
