Footage shared on social media appears to show 39-year-old Sean McLachlan of no fixed address approach the woman, blanket in tow, before apparently using his left arm to strike her, knocking her backwards onto the ground.

According to Victoria Police, detectives charged the man with intentionally causing injury following the alleged assault on Wednesday.

Police will allege that “the man struck the female to the head before she fell to the pavement and lost consciousness.”

In court on Thursday, McLachlan told a magistrate to “f**k off”, per the Herald Sun, where he did not apply for bail.

The masthead reported Magistrate Bernard FitzGerald asked if Mr McLachlan had spoken to legal counsel, to which he responded, “yes”.

Magistrate FitzGerald reportedly asked again, not hearing the first answer, before a frustrated Mr McLachlan responded, “I just said I’ve already f**king spoken to (a lawyer). Are you deaf? Are your ears painted on?”

Mr McLachlan said “f**k off” to the Magistrate when asked McLachlan what he hoped would happen in court.

The matter was adjourned so the accused could get legal representation.
