In footage obtained by A Current Affair, the former deputy mayor of Sydney’s Auburn can be seen speaking to Spanish coppers, before they deemed it necessary to bundle him into a police vehicle.
The program reports the situation was spurred by an unfortunate incident on Friday involving a taxi, chips and ice-cream. That’s usually a recipe for delicious disaster, and ACA claims the driver took umbrage to Mehajer and two friends spilling their food in his vehicle.
It’s thought an argument burst out between the car’s occupants. The driver alleged Mehajer kicked at him from his seat in the back, at which point the driver called the police, pulled over and instructed the three men to leave the vehicle.
Cops arrived soon after. That’s when the video kicks in.
