Two NSW police officers have been charged with the assault of a 92-year-old man following an incident in southwest Sydney earlier this year after reports of a domestic incident.
The alleged assault took place at a home in Picton after 8.45pm on Sunday, 21 January 2024.
Police said that during his interaction with the officers, the 92-year-old man suffered a number of injuries.
He was rushed to hospital with a fracture to his right elbow, and significant bruising to his head and arms.
Following an internal investigation, a senior male constable and a male constable, both attached to the South West Metropolitan Region, were served court attendance notices on Wednesday for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
One of the officers will appear at Campbelltown Local Court on July 30.
The other is due to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on August 6.
Both officers were suspended with pay.
