“All of a sudden, one of them just lunged at me and grabbed the money,” Mr Stewart told Nine News.

“They’re two young people, able-bodied – they should go out and get a job rather than stoop to those lows.”

The two men were last seen running north along George Street.

Witnesses helped Mr Stewart – who was not injured – and police were contacted.

The release of CCTV footage on Tuesday sparked outrage from the public, and Sydney City Police Area Command appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

A 20-year-old man was arrested at Green Valley police station about 3.15pm on Tuesday and was taken to Liverpool police station, where he was charged with stealing from a person.

He was refused bail and will appear at Liverpool Local Court on Wednesday.

After a further public appeal, a 20-year-old man, from Riverwood, was arrested at Campsie police station at 9.30am on Wednesday.

He was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on August 4.

Detective Inspector David El-Badawi didn’t mince words when describing the pair.

“There’s no other words to say but two low-life grubs. They saw Julian and they took the opportunity,” he said, calling them cowards.

Sydney City Police Area Commander, Superintendent Gavin Wood, thanked the public for their help.

“Within the first hour of our initial appeal being posted on the NSW Police Force Facebook page, it had reached more than 100,000 people and had thousands of shares and comments,” he said.

“We had great support from the media in sharing the images and details out there, and the kind words and community support for Julian is nothing short of outstanding.”

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Michael Bennett, a defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles, was taken into police custody after appearing in a Harris County courtroom Monday afternoon for an indictment.

Bennett, 32, is facing a third-degree felony charge following allegations he injured a 66-year-old and wheelchair-bound NRG security guard during Superbowl LI in 2017. A Harris County grand jury indicted Bennett on Friday.

The judge set his bond at $10,000 and instructed Bennett to have no contact with the victim.

The NFL player came to Houston to watch his younger brother Martellus Bennett of the New England Patriots. Investigators claim the older Bennett shoved the victim while making his way to the field for the post-game celebration along with several other player families and friends.

NRG security personnel told Bennett he would have to use a different entrance for field access. Bennett allegedly ignored the employees’ request and pushed his way through security, shoving people— including the elderly woman who was part of the security team.

“When this is all over, everybody will no that Michael is not guilty— he didn’t do this,” Bennett’s attorney Rusty Hardin said. “The furthest from anybody’s imagination; if you look at this guys career, his personality, his family, he would never assault — not only an elderly person — but any disabled person.”

The attorney added the Houston Police Department and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office do not have the entire story.

“I’m not going to fault the DA’s office for that at all. They presented what they have to a grand jury, but they didn’t have everything,” Hardin said.

Bennett has been charged with injury to the elderly, which includes intentionally and knowingly causing bodily injury to a person 65 years or older. The offense carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison a $10,000 fine.
