An anti-Adani protester travelling as part of a convoy with former Greens leader Bob Brown has been hit by a man on a horse in Queensland
A man is in custody after reportedly fleeing the scene into nearby bushland.
Mr Brown called on the behaviour to be condemned and said it was that of right wing politicians, some of whom attended the pro-Adani rally on Saturday."We were just enjoying the show and all of a sudden a man on a big spirited horse just appeared," witness Liz Cameron said."He galloped around the front of the stage in amongst the kids playing and pushed the gate into the person and it knocked them over.
