Police from Far South Coast Local Area Command have charged a woman following investigations into injuries sustained to her 7-year-old son in Batehaven yesterday, NSW Police say.
About 3pm on Monday 9 May 2016, a 39-year-old woman was driving her vehicle near Corrigan’s Beach Reserve.
The woman allegedly drove into the reserve where her 7-year-old son was walking, and struck him with her car, twice.
Witnesses at the park came to the aid of the boy and he was taken to Bateman’s Bay Hospital with a suspected fractured collarbone.
The woman was arrested at the scene and was taken to Bateman’s Bay Police Station.
She was later charged with attempted murder, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and drive motor vehicle furiously and cause bodily harm.
She was refused bail and will appear in Bega Local Court today.
