The victims were a woman and her two-year-old son, who suffered skin irritation but were not seriously hurt.

The liquid was tested and identified as anti-freeze - which is used in vehicles to prevent engines freezing and is readily available to buy - at the time but no arrests were made in the immediate aftermath.

Manners has been charged by postal requisition with two counts of administering a noxious substance with intent to injure, aggrieve or annoy in relation to an incident.
