A woman will appear in court today after being arrested for allegedly assaulting and intimidating four women in a bias-motivated crime incident in Ultimo, NSW Police say.
Shortly before 2pm yesterday, police from Sydney City Local Area Command were patrolling Pitt and George Streets, Sydney after receiving reports that a woman had allegedly assaulted and intimidated four women, two aged 18, a 19-year-old and a 23-year-old in Ultimo.
Police arrested a 39-year-old woman and conveyed her to Day Street Police Station where she was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm x 2, and common assault x 2.
She was refused bail to appear at Central Local Court today, today.
A police investigation into the alleged assault determined that it was a bias-motivated crime.
"Abuse and racist behaviour will not be tolerated and police will fully investigate any one who violates the law," Superintendent Daniel Sullivan, Police spokesperson for bias-motivated crime, said.
"We encourage anyone who suspects they have been a victim of a bias motivated crime to report it to police. If we don’t know about it, we can’t investigate it," Superintendent Sullivan said.
