Three boys have been charged after another youth was allegedly assaulted and robbed in the city overnight.
Officers attached to Sydney City Police Area Command were called to Hickson Road at Barangaroo after a 17-year-old male reported he'd been punched and kicked by three boys shortly before 1am (Saturday 31 May 2025). His shoes, bag and backpack were allegedly stolen.
He was taken to St Vincent's Hospital and treated for bruising and abrasions.
