A Dutch cyclist has reportedly been arrested over a noise dispute, the night before the men's elite road race at the U-C-I World Championships in Wollongong.
Police said at about 10.40pm on Saturday 24 September, a man was at a hotel on The Grand Parade, Brighton-Le-Sands, when he was allegedly involved in a verbal altercation with two teenage girls, aged 13 and 14.
Police further alleged the man then pushed both teenagers, with one falling to the ground and the other being pushed into a wall causing a minor graze to her elbow.
Hotel management were notified of the incident who then called police.
Officers from St George Police Area Command attended and arrested a 27-year-old man shortly after.
He was taken to Kogarah Police Station and charged with two counts of common assault and was granted conditional bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday 27 September 2022.
