No injuries were reported," a NSW Police statement said.The 25-year-old, from St Marys, was arrested at Riverstone police station on Monday afternoon. He was charged with damaging property, using offensive language in a public place and failing to comply with the COVID-19 public health order.The Health Minister rebuked the man's actions and urged the community to respect the government's protocols around QR codes and hospitality check-ins.Advertisement"It is absolutely appalling what I saw in that TV footage," Mr Hazzard said. “We had almost a year of COVID and we all know the value of QR codes to keeping us safe."Somebody who has crawled out from somewhere to start abusing staff needs the full force of the law thrown at them.
