A recent incident in western Sydney has resulted in a police officer allegedly being stabbed during an arrest. The incident has now led to the charging of a third man. The 21-year-old suspect was released from the hospital last night and taken to Blacktown police station, where he was charged with several offenses including affray, armed with intent to commit an indictable offence, custody of a knife in a public place, and intimidation.
Unfortunately, the suspect was refused bail and is expected to appear at Parramatta Local Court today. This development comes after the charging of two other men, 18-year-old Anau Majok and 20-year-old Musa Musa, who are currently before the courts facing a string of offenses.
The incident in question began when the police received reports of a fight involving five men at Hill End Road in Doonside around 12:30 AM yesterday. Four of the men fled the scene in a hatchback, while the fifth one ran away on foot. The police pursued the suspects, and it is alleged that Musa was found on foot at nearby Kilto Road. He was allegedly armed with a knife and stabbed 34-year-old Constable Sasha Antic in the chest and back.
Despite suffering from his injuries, Constable Antic continued with the arrest, and Musa was eventually taken into custody and charged. The hatchback, which was being pursued by the police, crashed into a pole on Power Street, forcing the four suspects inside to flee on foot. The officers managed to catch up with them and arrest Majok and the 21-year-old suspect who was charged today.
Constable Antic, who was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious but stable condition, was released last night and is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries, according to an update from the police today. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Gavin Wood had stated yesterday that Antic was in good spirits and eager to return to work. At the moment, the police are still searching for the remaining two suspects and are urging anyone with information to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
