A man accused of throwing horse manure and a pot plant at police during an illegal anti-lockdown protest in Sydney is due in court.
Following appeals for public help, police arrested a 39-year-old man at a home in Woonona on Tuesday afternoon and took him at Wollongong Police Station.
Police searched a home in Coledale and seized clothing they say is relevant to the investigation.
The man was charged with riot, assaulting police, two counts of throwing a missile at police and not complying with a notice of direction.
Police say the man took part in the unauthorised protest in central Sydney on July 24 and threw horse manure and a pot plant, hitting a mounted police officer and her horse.
He was refused bail to appear in Wollongong Local Court on Wednesday.
