Celebrity Chef George Calombaris Has Been Charged With Assault

Calombaris, 38, can be then be seen moving from the field towards the man, who is standing in the crowd.

In a statement released on Monday, Calombaris said he was "really disappointed" over the incident.

“While I am not proud of my reaction to the situation, I was offended by a spectator yelling out abusive and derogatory comments about my family," he said.

“I have spoken to Melbourne Victory FC and Football Federation Australia today to report the situation and I’m truly sorry that this has happened.”

NSW police confirmed a 38-year-old man had today been charged following an alleged assault at a sports stadium at Moore Park.
