The man accused of tipping hydrochloric acid into a lubricant dispenser at a Sydney gay sex club has appeared in court.
Hengky Irawan, 62, tried to hide behind a yellow envelope as he emerged from Parramatta Local Court on Tuesday morning.
Police allege Mr Irawan entered the suburban Aarows sex club on Bridge St at Rydalmere, in Sydney's north-west, a month ago and attempted to pour the acid into the dispensers.
However, police said the dispensers were alarmed and he was caught by security guards at the 24-hour 'discreet gay, bi and swingers club'.
The Mortdale man's lawyer asked the court for a six-week adjournment so he could undergo a psychiatric assessment for a mental health application.
