A 20-year-old man has been charged with assault for allegedly kicking the teenager who cracked an egg over Senator Fraser Anning’s head in Melbourne last month.
Victorian Police today said they’ve concluded their investigation into the March 16 altercation in which 17-year-old Will Connolly – better known as ‘Egg Boy’ - egged the controversial senator following the Christchurch massacre.
Senator Anning, 69, was filmed hitting Will twice, before the teen was tackled to the ground by some of Anning’s supporters and allegedly kicked by another.
Victoria Police has not charged Will, but issued him with an official caution.
Police also said Senator Anning would not be charged either as he was acting in “self-defence and there was no reasonable prospect of conviction”.
However a West Footscray man caught on camera has been charged with kicking him while he was on the ground in a chokehold.
“He has been released and will be charged on summons with assault by kicking,” police said in a statement.

Earlier, Will revealed that he was relieved about escaping formal charges.
"The 17-year-old VCE student says it has been a stressful time for him and his family over the last few weeks," a statement issued by his lawyers this afternoon said.
"Will wants to thank Victoria Police for their professionalism in their dealings with him and the speed of the resolution.
"Will is taking very seriously the formal caution he was given by police about his actions.
"Will and his family at no stage sought to have any action taken against people who reacted against him following the incident."
He has returned to his studies.
The $100,000 raised to cover his legal fees will be donated to help victims of the Christchurch massacre.
Police had released a photograph of the 20-year-old man they were looking for over Will’s assault.
Will, a Year 12 student, filmed himself egging Senator Anning as the controversial politician spoke to the media about the Christchurch massacre.
Since then, ‘Egg Boy’ has taken on an iconic status and even been painted in giant street murals.
Senator Anning was formally censured in the Senate last week for blaming immigration for the horrific mass murder.
