Police have commenced an investigation into a brawl near the Sydney CBD.
About 10.30pm yesterday (Saturday 19 April 2025), officers from Sydney City Police Area Command responded to reports of up to 40 people brawling in a park on Pirrama Road, Pyrmont.
Three men – two aged 24 and one aged 21 - were arrested at the scene.
It will be alleged that officers deployed capsicum spray to affect the arrest of one of the older men.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated one of the 24-year-old men and a 31-year-old man at the scene where they were taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and St Vincent's Hospitals respectively.
The 24-year-old man was charged in hospital with affray.
The second 24-year-old man was also charged with affray at Day Street Police Station.
Both men have been granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday 14 May 2025.
The 21-year-old man was later released from police custody without charge.
None of the injuries are considered as life threatening.
A crime scene was established that was later examined by specialist police.
Inquiries have established all persons involved in the brawl had disembarked from a charter vessel at the location a short time earlier.
