He will appear in Bankstown Local Court on 29 July.<\/p>\n

Ahmed told the ABC of the alleged incident: “It’s fake information \u2026 it’s not true at all.<\/p>\n

“I don’t have any information at all,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said his main focus was looking after his health and had more operations planned on his arm to address injuries sustained in the 14 December terrorist attack.<\/p>\n
