Australian police arrested a man on Sunday night after he shouted “you have blood on your hands” at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during a public vigil for the victims of the Bondi Beach massacre.
The incident occurred at the “Light over Darkness” vigil in Bondi, held to commemorate those killed in the December 14 attack. Albanese was heckled and booed at multiple points before, during and after the ceremony, according to witnesses at the event. One man shouted the accusation as the prime minister was present at the vigil, prompting police intervention.
Officers detained and arrested the man shortly afterward. Police have not alleged that the individual made threats or attempted physical violence, and there has been no indication that weapons were involved. Authorities have also not publicly detailed the specific charges under which the man was arrested.
