Police say they will not charge an Australian teenager or a senator for a spat in which the boy cracked an egg on the politician's head and the man retaliated.
Victoria state police said in a statement Tuesday that after reviewing footage and interviewing both participants, they had issued an official caution only to 17-year-old Will Connolly. They said they concluded Sen. Fraser Anning had acted in self-defence when he twice struck the teen afterward.
Connolly said in an interview with Ten network's "The Project" that he wasdisgusted by the senator's comments but understood his actions were wrong. Police said they were still trying to identify a man who allegedly kicked Connolly while the teen was restrained on the floor by Anning's supporters.
