Big Brother runner-up Rory Ammon has been charged for assaulting a cyclist in his hometown of Geelong, west of Melbourne.
Police allege the 22-year-old bricklayer turned reality TV star ( you mean Entertainment TRASH !!) was driving down a Geelong street in March when he swerved towards a 27-year-old cyclist, the Geelong Advertiser reports.
A passenger in Ammon's car then allegedly hung out the window and struck the cyclist in the lower back and buttocks.
The cyclist managed to stay on his bike but suffered severe bruising as a result of the blow.
Ammon has denied any wrongdoing in relation to the incident, telling the Geelong Advertiser he did not mean to drive close to the driver.
The Big Brother star said he had no control over his passenger, the brother of a close friend, who has since disappeared.
"He (the passenger) has taken off somewhere," the newspaper quoted Ammon as saying.
"I can't stop other people's actions. I don't see it as my fault so I can't apologise.
"My only fault is that he was in my car and apparently he is my responsibility."
Ammon is due to appear in Geelong Magistrates' Court on November 25.
Police are still looking for Ammon's 21-year-old passenger.

Nothing more and nothing less that PURE UNADULTERATED TRASH !!!
Keeping the plebs occupied with so-called entertainment.
bloody cyclists. i hate them, get them off the road. they dont pay road taxes, but they cry murder if you get too close to them. Rory will suffer from the tall poppy syndrome now that he's had his 15 minutes of fame. cyclists dont belong on roads, only cars and trucks.
