CANBERRA, Australia—Australia’s prime minister was hit on the head with an egg, and a 70-year-old woman was knocked off her feet on May 7 during a protest ahead of a general election next week.

The egg appeared to strike Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the back of the head and then bounce off without breaking as he spoke to a rural women’s conference in the town of Albury.
