THIS is the moment a “home-made nail bomb” is thrown into a crowd of protesters in Australia just weeks after the deadly Bondi terror attack.
Around 2,500 people gathered in Perth city center for an “Invasion Day” protest where “very basic equipment” was thrown into the crowd.
The horrifying footage shows a man dressed in a black butterfly t-shirt with a mask over his face preparing to drop something from a first-floor shopping plaza balcony.
Security footage shows him detonating a “bomb”, about the size of a coffee cup, down the throats of protesters below.
He then runs up the balcony before disappearing around the corner.
Police Commissioner Col Blanch said authorities who were in the square to monitor the protest immediately evacuated the crowd due to fears of another mass event.

Australians are on high alert after two gunmen attacked Sydney’s Bondi Beach a few weeks ago, killing 15 innocent people.
Commissioner Blach said the “fragmented bomb” contained “ball bearings, it contained screws and these items were wrapped around an unknown liquid at this stage in a glass container”.
“It had the potential to explode and injure or kill many people.”
Police believe the man tried to light the device with a wick or similar method, but it did not explode.
“We came very close to a potentially mass casualty,” Blanch said.
Later in the footage, the man can be seen being handcuffed by the police.
A 31-year-old man from Warwick, in Perth’s northern suburbs, has been charged with unlawfully acting with intent to harm and making or possessing explosives in suspicious circumstances.
Commissioner Blanch said further charges could be laid depending on what forensic officers discovered during a search of his home and electronic equipment.
“We are in the process of deconstructing the device, downloading his electronic devices, interviewing him, probably on multiple occasions, so there may be additional charges in the future,” the commissioner said.
He was refused bail and is due to appear at Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday 27 January 2026
Australians are still in mourning after 15 innocent people lost their lives when a father and son duo opened fire on crowds at the Jewish Hanukkah festival on December 14 at Bondi Beach.
At least 40 other people, including other children, were injured attack.
Naveed (24) and his father Sajid (50) are suspected of carrying out the terrorist attack.
Sajid died after being shot as he crouched on a footbridge with his son as they carried out Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in 30 years.
January 26 is an annual national public holiday in Australia, held to celebrate Australia Day – the country’s national day.
The date marks the moment in 1788 when the first fleet arrived at Sydney Cove and the British flag was raised in the colony of New South Wales.
Australia Day first became a public holiday in 1994.
“Invasion Day” is a term used by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their supporters to describe it January 26, because for them that date marks the beginning of British colonization, which led to land dispossession, violence, introduced diseases and lasting impacts on First Nations communities.
“Invasion Day” supporters instead see January 26 as a day of mourning and believe the date of Australia Day should be changed.
Naveed received life-saving CPR and was taken to hospital after being hit several times by the brave police officers. He remains in custody.
Heroic businessman Ahmed Al Ahmed risked his life as he rushed towards the shooting, grappling with alleged gunman Sajid Akram, 50, and wresting the shotgun from his hands.
The father-of-two has revealed why he didn’t shoot armed terrorists when he had the chance.
“I didn’t shoot him because I was doing it out of humility to stop him from killing more innocent human beings.
“I get five shots, it’s good to save lives. My blood for my country, Australia and for human beings all over the world, anywhere and everywhere.”
Mr Ahmed spent two weeks in Sydney’s St George Hospital and underwent extensive operations for gunshot wounds to his chest, shoulder and arm.
During his hospitalization, more than 43,000 people donated a total of $2.5 million through GoFundMe. He has since sold his South Sydney convenience store.
