Trolleyman returns to Melbourne court

The man who rammed the Bourke Street terrorist with a trolley has faced a Melbourne court over burglary and theft charges.

Michael Rogers, 46, briefly faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday for allegedly stealing a bike and breaking into a cafe and taking cash.

Rogers is accused of breaking into a CBD cafe and stealing $500 just a day before the attack that gained him public attention.

The homeless man earned the nickname "Trolleyman" after stepping in harm's way with a shopping cart to fend off IS-inspired attacker Hassan Khalif Shire Ali.

The November 9 terror attack claimed the life of Melbourne restaurant icon Sisto Malaspina and injured two others.

An online fundraising campaign for Rogers raised more than $155,000.

Wearing a shiny gold watch, loose fitting jeans and a red striped t-shirt, Rogers had his strict bail conditions extended until next month.

He must stay away from the CBD, stay inside at night and report daily to police.

He is also on a court support program which gives him access to drug support services and counselling

When asked by magistrate Julie Grainger if he could meet those requirements, he replied: "I'll try my best."

He made no comment to the media as he left the court.

Rogers is also accused of following someone into a St Kilda Road apartment building and stealing a $2000 racing bicycle in October.

He will return to Melbourne Magistrates Court on December 17.
