EXCLUSIVE: Footage has emerged of the son of cricketer-turned sports commentator James Brayshaw moments before he was arrested over an alleged drug-fuelled rampage on New Year’s Day.

Henry Brayshaw, 21, appeared disorientated in the short video as he stood outside a Portsea property, calling the owner a “fat bastard” after being told to leave.

The former Geelong Grammar student was wearing the same pink T-shirt and salmon-coloured shorts seen in a photo he shared on social media hours earlier for New Year’s Eve.

Police were called to the home — owned by Toorak-based RT Edgar real estate director Jeremy Fox — after Mr Brayshaw was allegedly refusing to leave about 5am on January 1.

“Just go,” Mr Fox can be heard calmly telling Mr Brayshaw in the footage.

When Mr Brayshaw goes to reach for a light in the garden, ripping it out, Mr Fox tells him: “Leave that”.

He then throws it at Mr Fox, hitting him in the face.

Mr Fox then chases him off the property.

The video allegedly captures one of eight times Mr Brayshaw was asked to leave, only for him to return.

Mr Fox’s family had hosted a NYE party when Mr Brayshaw allegedly arrived uninvited and started menacing young women.

One partygoer told the Herald Sun: “He was completely wired up on drugs. It was a very harrowing experience for the females in the house.”

Mr Brayshaw allegedly assaulted Mr Fox, punching him in the face before threatening to glass him with a bottle, when he tried to remove him from the multimillion-dollar mansion.

He later allegedly tore a windscreen wiper off a car parked on the street, threatening to stab Mr Fox with it.

Police charged him with unlawful assault, recklessly causing injury and criminal damage.

He was also charged with drug possession after police allege he was carrying magic mushrooms.

The Herald Sun understands Mr Brayshaw has been at a drug rehabilitation clinic receiving treatment since the alleged rampage.

James Brayshaw has not returned the Herald Sun’s calls.

His son will face Frankston Magistrates Court on May 15.
