Australia - Sydney man Sam Ibrahim has been granted bail after being arrested on a breach of bail charge.
Ibrahim, 43, who was on bail on kidnapping charges was taken into custody last night accused of breaching his bail conditions and malicious damage.
He was arrested after confronting a cameraman outside Long Bay jail, where he went to meet his brother Fadi who was granted bail on a conspiracy to murder charge.
Sam Ibrahim's lawyer has told the court, the cameraman pushed the camera into his client's face.
The court heard it will cost $3,000 to repair the camera Ibrahim is accused of damaging.
He is pleading not guilty to both charges.
In granting bail, a magistrate said his actions were probably reckless and impulsive and borne out of frustration with the media.
During the hearing, Ibrahim's lawyer criticised police saying that Strike Force Raptor, which was formed to crack down on bikie gangs, is doing everything it can to arrest people under dubious circumstances.
Several members of the Ibrahim family were in Fairfield Local Court this morning for the hearing.
