An off-duty NSW Police officer has been charged with allegedly assaulting a staff member at a north west Sydney hotel last year.
In a statement, NSW Police said that on Sunday 22 September last year, police received a report of an alleged assault at a licensed premises at Kellyville Ridge.
“The hotel manager, a 33-year-old man, was allegedly struck by a patron with a bar stool following a verbal disagreement. He suffered swelling and bruising to his face,” NSW Police said.
“Following extensive investigations, a 46-year-old man – a sergeant attached to a command in the North West Metropolitan Region – was issued a court attendance notice today for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.”
