75-year-old man attacked a reporter in the street after admitting that he burned down his house so his wife wouldn't get it in their divorce.
Krste Kovacevski, of Wollongong, is charged with damaging the property using fire on August 4 last year.
Outside Wollongong Local Court on Monday, he repeatedly hit and kicked a reporter from A Current Affair who asked him about the case.
The incident was caught on camera – including the moment Kovacevski attempted to put his cigarette out on the shirt of reporter Taylor Auerbach.
