Australian police has called on the public to help in a manhunt for Home and Away star Orpheus Pledger. According to a public notice, a warrant for Pledger’s arrest has been issued after he failed to appear in court over an “assault-related matter.” Pledger faced four assault offences at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday.

Police said he is approximately 170cm tall with brown hair and a tanned complexion. They also released an image of Pledger with a matted beard and longer hair than the image above, which is from 2018.
