A 17-year-old egged the politician during an press conference in Melbourne on Saturday. Police have not released his name. The video below took the internet by storm - the teenager is being hailed as a hero on social media.
Bystanders forced the boy to the ground until police arrived. He was released shortly later without facing charges, Victoria police confirmed.
