Details are emerging about the young woman who is alleged to have attacked Scott Morrison with an egg today, as an older woman pushed over in the ensuing excitement reveals her shock over the incident. 

The young woman who attempted to egg Scott Morrison at a Country Women’s Association Conference in Albury is now in police custody.

Amber Holt, 24, was charged with assault and cannabis possession charges after a small amount of the drug was found on her.

Walking herself to the police station down the road following the incident, she didn’t want to comment but said she was sorry an older woman got caught up in the incident.

When asked whether it was a premeditated attack, the girl held up her six-pack of eggs to journalists.

She was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Albury Local Court on May 27.
