Threats were made at a gymnasium in Burwood after Bruce Herat, an employee there, asked Salim Mehajer to stop mistreating the equipment.

Mr Mehajer was confronted Mr Herat in a car park 20 minutes later as he left the gym, Seven News reported earlier.



“Don’t you know who I am,” he’s alleged to have repeated.

“I’m Salim Mehajer. I’m going to take this further, I’m going to find out where you live and have your kids kidnapped.”

More to come.
