It was during a time when many students would be arriving to start the school day, with NSW Police saying “a number of parents and children were in or near the park” at the time.

Officers arrived and arrested a 39-year-old man and 31-year-old woman.

Both of them were granted bail, with the man to appear in Newtown Local Court on February 24 and the woman to appear in the same court on March 12.
