Greenacre man accused of holding ex-partner and baby against will in terrifying abduction

A Sydney man is accused of violently assaulting his ex-partner before bundling her and her baby into a car and driving them across the city’s western suburbs.

A man’s alleged violent rampage on his ex-partner before holding her and her baby against their will has landed him in court.

The 36-year-old man is accused of repeatedly hitting the 28-year-old woman as a heated argument allegedly escalated into physical violence.

Officers were told the trio were at a home on Ivy Street, Greenacre, when a dispute broke out about 9am Sunday.

Police will allege the man hit the woman multiple times in the face, head and body as she tried to flee with her eight-month-old son.

But the man allegedly forced them into his car.

Detectives were told the woman tried to escape twice, once at Glassop Street at Yagoona where she attempted to ask fellow passer-bys by to help her before she was allegedly forced back into the car.

She was then allegedly driven to her home in Sadlier and the man then left.

Police were alerted about 8pm.

They arrested the man at a home in Greenacre before he was taken to Bankstown Police station and charged with several offences including taking/detaining a person, common assault, breaching an AVO and breaching bail.

He was refused bail and will appear in Bankstown Local Court on Monday.

His blue Nissan Pulsar sedan was seized for forensic examination.
