Two police officers in New South Wales have found themselves in hot water after being charged with assault. The incident involves a 92-year-old man who suffered a fractured elbow and bruises on his head and arms in Sydney's south-west.
According to reports, the two officers were responding to a domestic incident at a residence on Campbell Street in Picton. This occurred on the evening of January 21 and has only now resulted in charges being brought against the officers.
In a statement released by the NSW Police, it was revealed that the elderly man's injuries were allegedly caused by his interaction with the officers. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated for a fractured elbow and significant bruising.
The two officers, a senior constable and a constable from the South West Metropolitan Region, have been issued court attendance notices for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The constable is facing an additional charge of assault.
These charges are the result of an internal investigation conducted by the NSW Police. As a result, one of the officers is scheduled to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on July 30, while the other will appear on August 6. In the meantime, both officers will be suspended with pay.
It is concerning to see such behavior from those who are meant to protect and serve the community. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for greater accountability within the police force. Hopefully, justice will be served for the 92-year-old man and this will serve as a reminder for all officers to uphold the law with integrity and respect for all individuals.
