A man has been charged after allegedly mimicking firing at people on a bridge that was the site of the Bondi Beach terror attack that left 15 people dead.

Police received complaints from the public about the actions of two men on the Campbell Parade bridge at Bondi Beach about 7 p.m. on Jan. 31.

One man allegedly pretended to fire at people near the bridge and abused bystanders when confronted, causing them to feel fearful and intimidated, police said.

Officers spoke with a 23-year-old man at the scene, while the other man fled the scene.

The footbridge was used by the gunmen during the Bondi terror attack on Dec. 14, which left 15 people dead and dozens injured at the Chanukah by the Sea event.

The 23-year-old man was arrested about 4:40 p.m. on Feb. 4 and has been charged with stalking or intimidating, intending to cause fear or physical harm and behaving in an offensive manner near a public place or school.
