Victoria Police confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that 17-year-old Will Connolly, dubbed “EggBoy” by the internet, has been interviewed and released without any charges.
Will Connolly, was caught on camera smashing an egg on Australian Senator Fraser Anning`s, who had remarked that Muslim immigration was the reason for the recent terror attacks that left 50 people dead and dozens more injured at two mosques.
Anning said in an statement after the Christchurch incident on Friday:”The real cause of the bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program, which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place.”
In the clip it can be seen that Senator Fraser slaps the boy twice after being roasted by an egg. The boy is being tackled to the ground and later was arrested.
Will Connolly became an Internet icon on Saturday, after smashing the egg on Anning’s head.
A GoFundMe titled “Money for Eggboy” has been started for the Australian teen and had raised more than $50,000 by Monday afternoon. 
According to CBS News, “The money was supposed to go toward Connolly’s legal fees according to the campaign, but the teen has said he is going to donate his money to the victims of the shooting.”
