Man Accused of Mimicking Shooting at Bondi Footbridge Denied Bail

Police say he pretended to shoot from the Campbell Parade footbridge, a location still scarred by December’s mass attack.

Overview

  • Zayne McMillan, 22, was arrested in Coogee on Wednesday after reports he mimicked firing at people from the Campbell Parade bridge on Saturday evening.
  • He was charged with two counts of stalking or intimidation and three counts of behaving in an offensive manner after police said he abused bystanders who confronted him.
  • A magistrate refused bail, citing his parole status for prior violent offences and noting the prosecution case appears strong.
  • His lawyer argued for release based on caring responsibilities for his mother and his background, but the application was dismissed.
  • Police say they spoke to a second man at the scene as inquiries continue, and McMillan is due back in court on February 10.
