Three people will face court tomorrow charged after an alleged armed robbery that left a man with serious injuries in Sydney’s west today.
Just after 2am (Tuesday 23 November 2021), police were told a man left a licensed premise on Kildare Road, Blacktown, when he was approached by a female patron who requested a lift home.

Officers attached to Blacktown Police Area Command were notified and attended, along with NSW Ambulance paramedics, who treated the man, aged 64.
He was taken to Westmead Hospital with a suspected broken ankle, broken ribs, lacerations and bruising to his face.
Following inquiries, at 4.40am today, police stopped a white Toyota Camry on McKenzie Boulevarde, Toongabbie, and located a set of keys believed to belong to the 64-year-old.
