Mother, son charged with assault



A MOTHER and her teenage son have been charged with assaulting a transit officer on Sydney’s northern beaches.


A 54-year-old woman has told police she was in a marked car in Brookvale at 7pm (AEST) on Saturday when a piece of timber was thrown at her vehicle, striking the passenger door.

Police allege an 18-year-old man then approached the car and kicked it numerous times before opening the driver’s door and spitting blood in the transit officer’s face.

It’s alleged the man’s mother, 48, assaulted a male transit officer as he tried to intervene.

The mother and son then fled the scene at Mitchell Road but they were arrested a short time later at separate nearby locations.

A subsequent search of the woman allegedly uncovered cannabis.

The pair were taken to Dee Why Police Station where the man was charged with assault and malicious damage, and his mother was charged with assault and possessing a prohibited drug.

The mother and son were both granted bail to appear at Manly Local Court on November 2.

Ambulance paramedics treated the transit officer before she was transferred to Manly Hospital.
