Police want to talk to man who allegedly assaulted ‘Egg Boy’

Police are looking for a man following the alleged assault of a teenager who broke an egg over the head of far-right Queensland Senator Fraser Anning.

Will Connolly, 17, from Hampton, Melbourne, became instantly famous after smashing an egg over Senator Anning in Moorabbin. Senator Anning was speaking following his comments linking the Christchurch attacks to the migration of Muslims to New Zealand.

Mr Connolly was given the name “Egg Boy,” after footage of the egging, which occurred during a press conference, emerged.

The teenager was then tackled by a number of men. According to police, one man can be seen approaching Mr Connolly before assaulting him a number of times.

“While the 17-year-old boy was being held on the ground, another male has approached and kicked him in the body a number of times,” a police spokeswoman said.

Police have released an image of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.

Anyone with information regarding the male depicted is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
