Second man charged after allegedly mimicking Bondi shooting from infamous footbridge
Police have charged a second man following an investigation into aggressive behavior on the footbridge where the Bondi terror attack took place.
In a statement, NSW Police said officers attached to Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command and Operation Shelter launched an investigation after receiving complaints about the two men’s actions on the Campbell Pde bridge at around 7pm on January 31.
One of the men allegedly pretended to shoot people near the bridge.
Their investigation led to the arrest of 22-year-old Zayne Jason William McMillan on February 4.
“Following further inquiries, yesterday (Tuesday) police attended a supermarket on Kiaora Ln in Double Bay and arrested a 23-year-old man on an outstanding warrant,” NSW Police said.
“He was taken to Surry Hills Police Station where the warrant was executed and charged with aggressive behavior in/near a public place/school and stalking/intimidating with intent to cause physical etc. harm (personal).”
The man appeared in court on Tuesday before being released on conditional bail to appear before Waverley Local Court on May 20.
Earlier this month, McMillan was jailed for a series of incidents on January 31 in which he made expletive-laden, anti-Semitic remarks towards horrified locals.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of aggressive public behavior and two counts of intimidation.
The court was told he was involved in a series of confrontations in which he posed on the footbridge where 15 people were killed just seven weeks ago, pretended to have a gun and then shouted “fuck the Jews” at Bondi and Bondi Junction.
At the time of the crime, McMillan was using a cocktail of alcohol, ketamine, MDMA and magic mushrooms.
Sentenced to 12 months in prison with a nine-month non-parole period, he will be eligible for parole in November.
