A teenager will appear in court today charged with assault after allegedly spitting on a train guard in Canley Vale yesterday.
Around 6.45pm (Sunday 3 May 2020), a Sydney Trains guard was working on a south bound train when it stopped at Canley Vale Railway Station.
As the train was due to depart, a young male standing on the platform is alleged to have spat into the face of the 49-year-old train guard before running from the scene, over the train tracks and in the direction of Canley Vale Road.
Officers attached to Fairfield City Police Area Command attended and commenced an investigation into the incident.
Shortly after, police stopped and spoke to a teenage boy on Canley Vale road, near the intersection of Sackville Street.
The 16-year-old boy was arrested and taken to Fairfield Police Station where he was charged with common assault.
He was refused bail and is due to appear in a children's court today (Monday 4 May 2020).
