The atmosphere of New Year's Eve in Sydney was unfortunately dampened by a series of incidents that occurred throughout the city. One witness reported that a group of males in Guildford were setting off fireworks when suddenly a 17-year-old boy was stabbed in the back. The incident took place at approximately 10:40pm and the young victim was quickly transported to the hospital. However, the perpetrator managed to escape before the authorities arrived.
As the night went on, the celebrations in the CBD and harbour foreshore areas were met with a significant police presence. In total, 36 people were arrested for various offences such as assault, affray, robbery, and possession of a knife. With an estimated 1 million people taking to the streets, it was no easy task for the police to maintain order. However, Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna assured the public that the majority of individuals were well-behaved.
Despite the unfortunate incidents, Assistant Commissioner McKenna emphasized that the safety of the NSW community was of utmost importance to the police force. He also mentioned that they would continue to monitor the festivities throughout the night, with officers patrolling by air, road, and water. This was to ensure that everyone could have a memorable New Year's Eve for all the right reasons.
As the night carried on, general duties officers were joined by specialist police units such as the riot squad, mounted and dog command, PolAir, and water police. Their presence on the streets provided a sense of security for the public and helped to prevent any further incidents from occurring.
