A political activist, who is running for the senate in Queensland, has provoked a bitter reaction from a crowd after holding up an obscene sign that said ‘F**k Xi Jinping’ at an Asian market in Sydney.
Drew Pavlou sparked an angry reaction from bystanders who called him a “motherf**ker” and “son of a b**ch” for displaying the sign aimed at Chinese President Xi Jinping in Eastwood in Sydney’s north west.
The 20-year-old posted video to social media showing a group of people gathering around him and hurling abuse.
At one stage, the footage revealed a photographer who was filming Pavlou’s stunt, being pushed and later grabbed by a man from behind while he fought to get out of his grasp.
Pavlou claimed that there was an attempt to smash his sidekick’s camera and they had made a statement to the police about the “assault”.
