A teen protestor hit a far-right Australian senator with an egg on March 15 after the lawmaker said that an immigration program which allows Muslims into the country is the “real cause of bloodshed.”

A video shared by an ABC political reporter on Twitter shows the Queensland Senator Fraser Anning speaking to reporters in a news conference when a 17-year-old teen from behind smashes an egg on his head.
