Following an internal investigation, a male senior constable and a male constable, both attached to the South West Metropolitan Region, were served court attendance notices on Wednesday 12 June 2024 for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, with the constable facing a further charge of assault.

One of the officers will appear at Campbelltown Local Court on Tuesday 30 July 2024. The other is due to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on Tuesday 6 August 2024.

Both officers will be suspended with pay.
