A man who allegedly punched a police horse at Sydney's anti-lockdown protest will be kept behind bars after refusing to take a Covid-19 test. Kristian Pulkownik, 33, allegedly struck NSW Police horse Tobruk in the nose as his rider was managing thousands of protesters who marched in the city's CBD last Saturday as part of the 'Rally 4 Freedom march'. He'd been hit with a string of charges including affray, committing an act of cruelty upon an animal, and breaching a Covid-19 restriction. Pulkownik was set to appear via video link at the Central Local Court on Thursday morning but Magistrate Mark Richardson told the court he couldn't leave his cell due to his refusal to have a Covid swab, the ABC reported.
