STEVEN SAPHORE
Anti-lockdown protester and a police horse

A protester wearing a shirt bearing the words ‘Free Speech’, allegedly strikes a mounted police horse during a deeply controversial anti-lockdown protest, where many unmasked protesters gathered to oppose NSW’s coronavirus health orders, in Sydney, Australia on Saturday, July 24, 2021.

The next morning, NSW Police revealed the 33-year-old man had been charged for allegedly striking a police horse during unauthorised protest activity and was subsequently incarcerated.
