In a troubling incident that unfolded on Saturday evening, Zayne McMillan, 22, reportedly pretended to shoot at people from a vantage point on the Campbell Parade bridge. The unsettling event took place around 7 p.m., causing alarm among those in the vicinity.
Witnesses who challenged McMillan on his alarming behavior were met with verbal abuse, leaving them feeling threatened and intimidated. This encounter added to the distress of the incident, raising concerns about public safety.
During a court hearing, it was revealed that McMillan is the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from a psychotic condition. Despite this personal circumstance, the court was not swayed to grant him bail.
Magistrate Karen Stafford decided against his bail application, citing the strong case against McMillan. “He’s on parole for some very serious offences of violence … this would appear to be a repetition of violent offending,” Magistrate Stafford pointed out, highlighting the gravity of the allegations and McMillan’s troubling history.
“He’s on parole for some very serious offences of violence … this would appear to be a repetition of violent offending,” she said.
McMillan will be back in court on February 10.
Police had received complaints from the public about the actions of two men at the Bondi Bridge, but the other alleged offender is said to have fled the scene.
She was one of the first people to rush to the scene to aid victims of the terror attack.
