Police say the 54-year-old Adelaide man was asked to move back by a plainclothes officer after “getting too close to the Premier”.

The man refused and then allegedly began acting in a disorderly manner, police said.

He was charged with disorderly behaviour and assaulting police after a scuffle unfolded.

The press conference was briefly interrupted.

The man has been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on August 5.
