A man will face court following a crash outside a school on Sydney's north earlier today.
About 8.15am (Tuesday 4 August 2026), emergency services were called to a school on Koola Avenue, East Killara, after reports of a vehicle being stolen and a pedestrian hit.
Officers attached to Kuring Gai Police Area Command attended and were told a 59-year-old man had exited the vehicle, when soon after an unknown man entered the vehicle and attempted to drive off.
The vehicle hit the 59-year-old man before coming to a stop, where members of the public detained the driver, a 39-year-old man, before the arrival of police.
He was arrested and taken to hospital for mandatory testing, before being taken to Hornsby Police Station.
In relation to the incident at Killara, the man was charged with three offences - take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, cause bodily harm by misconduct – in charge of a motor vehicle and goods in custody.
He was also charged in relation to other unrelated offences.
The man was refused bail to appear at Hornsby Local Court tomorrow (Wednesday 5 August 2026).
