Presenter Georgie Tunny looked shocked when Austin got up and walked away during the ABC News interview after being asked a question about Victory’s A-League grand final loss to Sydney FC last season.
It was later revealed by the ABC that Austin was okay after the incident.
The 26-year-old signed for Victory at the beginning of last season after impressing for the Central Coast Mariners during the 2015-16 A-League season.
He has scored three goals in 19 matches for Kevin Muscat’s team.
