Two banned from Australian motor racing event after sex toy incident

One man has attacked a police officer with a dildo at the Bathurst 1000 motor racing event while another man has been caught wheeling around a television set showing porn. And both have been thrown out of the the major annual racing event, police say.

A 22-year-old Moss Vale man was arrested shortly after 10pm (AEDT) yesterday after launching himself at a male police officer sitting inside a police car, hitting him on the head with a sex toy. The officer was not hurt, but the man has been charged with assaulting police.

Earlier in the evening, a 35-year-old St Helens Park man was arrested after police found him wheeling around a television set showing porn. "The man had been walking his trolley around a park campsite displaying the material," a police statement said.

A search of the man's tent revealed more than 20 pornographic DVDs. The man and his trolley were taken to a police station on Mount Panorama where he was charged with displaying pornographic material.

"Camping on the mountain are families with young children and for someone to deliberately walk around displaying pornographic material is completely unacceptable," Assistant Commissioner Lee Shearer said.

Both men have been issued with banning notices and are prohibited from returning to the Mount Panorama racing precinct for the remainder of the weekend's event. They have been bailed to appear at Bathurst Local Court on November 10.
