A TV cameraman has been left with a scratched forehead after he was hit in the head by a wayward ball kicked by Opposition Leader Peter Dutton at a photo-op in Darwin.
Ghaith Nadir, a cameraman for Channel 10, was filming the event at a local footy club when the ball went straight towards him.
“Oh got him,” Dutton said before realising the kick had somehow left the man with a bloodied forehead.
”Oh it split him open too. Oh no,” he said.
The opposition leader went to check on the injured cameraman, who was not seriously injured.
Dutton shook Nadir’s hand after checking on him.
The opposition leader’s wayward drop kick comes days after Anthony Albanese took a tumble on stage at an event.
Peter Dutton had been in Darwin this morning unveiling a new policy to buy back the Port of Darwin after it was leased for 99 years to a private company with Chinese connections.
The deal was approved under then-Coalition Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
