FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Two teenagers shot by police as they drove a stolen car along a crowded footpath in Sydney’s Kings Cross have been charged at hospital bedside court hearings.
Two officers were patrolling the nightclub district at about 4am (AEST) on Saturday when they recognised a group of young indigenous men in a stolen car on Darlinghurst Rd.
The 14-year-old driver tried to speed off when police approached but mounted the busy footpath, pinning one 29-year-old woman and striking another pedestrian.
The officers shot at the windscreen, striking the 14-year-old driver in the chest and arm and hitting the 17-year-old front-seat passenger in the neck.
Both the injured teenagers faced a bedside court hearing on Thursday afternoon at St Vincent’s Hospital.
The younger male was charged under the provisions of so-called Skye’s Law – using a weapon to avoid apprehension, driving in a furious manner causing injury and taking and driving a conveyance in order to evade police.
Skye’s Law, introduced after the death of 19-month-old Skye Sassine in 2009, provides penalties for offenders who deliberately try to avoid arrest by commencing high-speed police chases.
The 14-year-old was also charged with robbery in company in relation to the robbery of a petrol station in Earlwood last September.
He was granted bail because of his injuries.
The other teenager was charged with being carried in conveyance and will face Bidura Children’s Court on May 1.
The four other occupants of the car – aged 13, 14, 16 and 24 – were unhurt in the shooting.
They were arrested and charged on Saturday, with their matters currently before the court.
Matthew Dalton, 24, one of the males in the vehicle, appeared in Sydney’s Central Local Court on Monday charged with being a passenger in a stolen vehicle.
His Legal Aid solicitor did not apply for bail but indicated he would do so on Friday at his next appearance in the same court.
The court documents show he told police he had consumed about 20 alcoholic drinks and smoked cannabis before the incident.
A Critical Incident Investigation Team led by senior police has been set up to look into the shooting.
Some politicians and community leaders have demonstrated over the incident and called for an independent inquiry into the shooting.
