The former Auburn deputy mayor was charged after he threw an eftpos machine at a taxi driver’s face and stole his iPhone outside the casino at Pyrmont.
Mehajer is currently behind bars after being refused bail over another matter where he is accused of staging a car crash in 2017 to avoid court.
Last week the property developer was found guilty of assaulting Seven Network reporter Laura Banks when he slammed a car door on her arm as he tried to leave a police station.
More to come.
