>> reporter: he was in prison for a string domestic violence offense and he's currently on bail awaiting trial. man heroni motis. martha: they didn't want to mention his name initially but now they decided to. any idea why? >> reporter: they said it's okay to broadcast his name. he was known to police. they did say earlier he was known to them which mean he has some sort of police record. but they decided at 1:00 in the morning in sydney, to go ahead and release his name publicly. obviously they feel comfortable with the situation and they are okay with identifying him. martha: stuart, thank you so
