A woman is due in court today charged after a man suffered facial fractures when allegedly assaulted at a bus stop in Mt Druitt last December.
Officers attached to the Police Transport Command have been investigating the assault of a 24-year-old man at the interchange on North Parade about 9.30am on Thursday 19 December 2024.
Police were told there was a discussion between a 24-year-old woman and the commuter – who were strangers prior to this – before the woman allegedly pulled the man to the ground from behind, before punching and kicking him.
The man suffered multiple facial fractures, his prescription spectacles were smashed and headphones destroyed during the alleged assault.
The man was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Mt Druitt Hospital for further treatment.
Inquiries were continuing, when PTC officers arrested the woman about 5pm yesterday (Thursday 20 February 2025), while they were conducting duties under Operation Ares at Blacktown.
The woman, from Mt Druitt, was taken to Blacktown Police Station where she was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and destroy or damage property.
She has been refused bail before her appearance in Mt Druitt Local Court today (Friday 21 February 2025).
