Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia got off to a very dramatic start in Sydney on Sunday night, when the opening show was interrupted by a man who stormed the runway at the Ellery show. As designer Kym Ellery made her way down the catwalk to take her bow, a furious man understood to be a neighbour of the Carriageworks venue at Eveleigh made a very public complaint about the music. The local man was pictured covering his ears, wagging his finger, and shouting at a security guard who escorted him from the runway. Scroll down for video . Turn down that racket!
