About 6pm the same day, the man blocked the girls from walking across a pedestrian crossing with a vehicle at North Bondi, before yelling at the girls and driving away.

Police were further told that about 2.45pm Monday 27 January 2025, the girls were in the water off Bondi Beach, when they allegedly saw the man watching them from the shore.

After receiving the report police immediately commenced an investigation into the incident.

Following investigations, police arrested a 62-year-old man on Arnold Street, Queens Park, about 6.40am today (Thursday 30 January 2025).
