Police issue AVO to protect Larry Emdur
Larry Emdur has had an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) taken out to protect him, days after he won the Gold Logie.
The order has been taken out by NSW police on behalf of the TV host against a Victorian man, who allegedly attempted to gain access to the Channel Seven office on Central Ave, Eveleigh on Thursday August 22 at around 11.15am.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the man "allegedly walked into the Central Ave building, past a security desk and got into a lift before demanding to see the much loved TV host."
The publication also reported that police issued the AVO as they were concerned for Emdur's safety.
“Officers from South Sydney Police Area Command attended and spoke with a 52-year-old man who had been escorted from the building by security,” NSW Police said in a statement.
The man was arrested and taken to hospital for assessment before he was then taken to Surry Hills Police Station.
He was charged with trespass and possession of a prohibited drug.
The man faced Downing Centre Local Court where he was granted conditional bail and is due to reappear on September 5.
His conditions include not entering Central Ave, the suburb of Haymarket, or within 200m of the Channel 7 office.
The 52-year-old has also been ordered to report to Redfern Police Station daily.
Court records show the AVO protecting Emdur is set to be mentioned in court on September 16.
The arrest came just days after Emdur took the top award at the 2024 Logies on August 18.
