They say the man made his way onto the tarmac by cutting a padlock on a gate, and then simply riding his tri-cycle up to the chopper.

It is believed he then allegedly used a garden mattock or axe on the helicopter, as a protest against the joint US and Australian Military Exercise Talisman Sabre.
It is unclear how much damage was caused to the chopper as a result of the attack.
Police say he is yet to be charged.
The attack comes as a Rockhampton magistrate fined three protesters for trespassing in the Shoalwater Bay Training Area.
