After the video went viral, the teenager was hailed by the netizens for ¡®egging¡¯ the Australian minister. The incident took place when Anning was addressing a press conference on March 16. The video shows the senator being smacked by a teenage boy on his head with an egg. But his reflex action was also fast, the senator punched him back before handing him to the police.

According to the police, the incident is under investigation. But the cops will be looking at the matter and investigating the role of not just the teen but also Anning. Anning came under a lot of criticism after he blamed Muslims immigrating to New Zealand.
Following the egging, the boy was officially unidentified but netizens tracked the teen¡¯s identity from an Instagram account that apparently belongs to him. People have been flooding his old posts with praises. People have also come up with the hashtag #EggBoy expressing support to him. Many cartoons, posters and GIF's are also circulated on Twitter. Connolly became a sensation overnight.
