According to ABC News, two police officers have been charged over an alleged hit and run involving an e-bike rider in Sydney’s inner west.
A 25-year-old woman was struck by a fully marked police vehicle while riding an e-bike near Glebe Point Road at about 5am on Tuesday, May 12. NSW Police said the officers on duty allegedly failed to stop and render assistance before driving away from the scene.
The woman called emergency services and later reported the incident to police. Detectives on Monday charged a 27-year-old male constable with neglect, refuse or not carry out lawful order as a police officer, negligent driving and not giving particulars to the other driver.
Police will allege in court that the 27-year-old was driving the police vehicle at the time of the crash. A second male constable, aged 25, was charged with neglect, refuse or not carry out any lawful order as a police officer.
Both officers received Court Attendance Notices and are due to appear at Downing Court on January 15. NSW Police said the employment status of both officers was under review.
