NSW police have charged a second nurse over an antisemitic video broadcast from Bankstown Hospital last month.
The 27-year-old man has been accused of using a carriage service (e.g. a phone) to menace, harass, or offend.
He’s also been charged with possessing a banned drug.
It follows charges laid against the first nurse, a 26-year-old woman, who also appeared in the video posted to social media by an Israeli influencer.

The male nurse was charged under Strike Force Pearl, which was established to investigate antisemitic crimes across NSW.
15 people have now been arrested as part of this operation.
Both nurses were stood down from their roles at Bankstown Hospital after the video emerged, which allegedly shows them making threats against Israeli patients.
Speaking to media last month, NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said authorities are reviewing the two nurses’ conduct, but that there was “no evidence” so far they had harmed any patients.
