A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was attacked in her bedroom in Sydney’s west.
About 11.30pm on Wednesday (20 November 2019), a man arrived at a home on Gallop Grove, Lalor Park and he was engaged in an argument with a bedridden 64-year-old woman who is known to him.
The man allegedly asked the woman for money and when she said she didn’t have any money, police will allege he used a pillow to smother her and restrict her breathing.
The woman managed to activate her medical alert bracelet and call for help and police and emergency services attended a short time later.
She suffered a number of injuries and was taken to Blacktown Hospital.
Police established a crime scene and began investigations.
A 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to Quakers Hill Police Station.
He was charged with attempt to strangle/suffocate with intent to murder.
He was refused bail to appear at Blacktown Local Court today (Friday 22 November 2019).
