A meeting of Glen Eira City Council has turned violent after a decision was made to close three council-run early learning centres.
Mayor Anne-Marie Cade said the councillors, officers and community members were put in danger at this week’s meeting when a person threw an egg from the gallery at councillors.
She said the council condemns the behaviour as absolutely unacceptable, and that she had ended the meeting immediately when the incident occurred to ensure the safety of those in attendance.
A councillor has undergone medical treatment for an eye injury sustained in the incident.
It’s understood that the Council and councillors are cooperating with Victoria Police, and assault charges are likely to be laid.
