Two police officers have been charged after a 92-year-old man was allegedly assaulted following an altercation in Sydney’s southwest.
Police were called to a home on Campbell St in Picton just before 9pm on Sunday, January 21 after reports of a domestic incident.
The 92-year-old man was allegedly injured as a result of his interaction with police, including a fracture to his right elbow.
The man also sustained significant bruising to his head and arms and was rushed to hospital by emergency services.
In a statement, NSW Police said a male senior constable and a male constable had since been charged following an internal investigation into the incident.
The officers, both attached to the South West Metropolitan Region, were issued a court attendance notice for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The police constable was charged with a further count assault; both men are expected to appear in Campbelltown court over the coming weeks.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb is expected to address the media in relation to the incident later on Thursday afternoon.
Both officers have been suspended with pay.
