Man charged over allegedly false Bondi massacre injury claim

A 46-year-old man has been charged over false claims he was injured during the Bondi terror attack in December. Fifteen people lost their lives when the shooting took place at a Jewish festival celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach. The man will appear in court on November 18, facing charges of using false and misleading material to gain an advantage and making false representations.

Police arrested him at Parramatta Police Station on Tuesday, accusing him of making a false statement about his injuries and subsequently filing fraudulent compensation claims. He was granted conditional bail and is set to face Parramatta Local Court on November 18.
