Man arrested over alleged assault: Matraville

A couple allegedly attacked police officers including throwing a pool cue at them after being told to turn their music down at a Sydney property.

A woman, 38, and man, 39, were arrested outside a home on Leffler street at Oran Park in Sydney’s southwest overnight, after officers responded to a noise complaint at 12.50am on Sunday morning.

Police allege they requested the tenants at the property to turn down the music but a woman became hostile during the encounter.

She argued with the officers as they returned to their vehicle before the man allegedly threw a pool cue at them, NSW Police said.

The man allegedly started to throw punches at the officer before the pair were pepper-sprayed.
