"Egg Boy" is going to donate most of the money raised for him towards the victims of the Christchurch mosque attacks.
Seventeen-year-old Will Connolly, who refers to himself as the "Egg Boy", cracked a raw egg over disgraced Australian politician Fraser Anning's head.
The egging came after Anning made victim-blaming comments in the wake of Christchurch mosque shootings.
After the incident, where the Senator punched him and some men held him in a chokehold, "Egg Boy" was arrested.

However, the person who created the page said Connolly had got in touch with him and said that "he is committed to sending a majority of the money to the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attacks".
After Connolly was released without being charged, he spoke out on Twitter.
Australia has a new fearless hero, EggBoy.

"Don't egg politicians. You get tackled by 30 bogans at the same time," he said in a video. "I learnt the hard way."
He also revealed on Twitter that: "This was the moment I felt so proud to exists as a human being. Let me inform all you guys, Muslims are not terrorists and terrorism has no religion. All those who consider Muslims a terrorist community have empty heads like Anning."
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for the first time on Sunday joined the public condemnation of Anning.
Asked by a journalist what she thought of Anning's comments, she replied simply: "They're a disgrace."
