Two on-duty officers have been charged after a crash in Sydney's inner west earlier this year.
Police commenced an investigation after reports a fully marked police vehicle had hit an E-bike on Broadway, near Glebe Point Road, causing the rider to fall to the ground, about 5am on Tuesday 12 May 2026.
The officers in the vehicle allegedly did not render aid to the rider and drove from the scene.
The rider – a 25-year-old woman – contacted emergency services before reporting the incident to police.
After receiving the report, officers attached to a Central Metropolitan Region Command commenced Strike Force Zabba to investigate the incident.
Following investigations, today (Monday 9 November 2026) strike force officers charged a 27-year-old man – a constable attached to a Central Metropolitan Region Command – with:
- Police officer neglect/refuse/not carry out any lawful order
- Negligent driving (no death or grievous bodily harm)
- Not give particulars to other driver
Police will allege in court the 27-year-old man was driving the police car at the time of the crash.
A second constable attached to a Central Metropolitan Region Command – a 25-year-old man – was charged with police officer neglect/refuse/not carry out any lawful order.
They were both issued Court Attendance Notices to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on Friday 15 January 2026.
The employment status of both officers is currently under review.
