A man has been charged over his alleged involvement in an altercation in the Eastern Suburbs last night.
About 10.10pm (Wednesday 15 November 2023), a silver Toyota Corolla hatchback was travelling on O’Brien Street at North Bondi, when it passed a white Mercedes sedan travelling in the opposite direction towards Old South Head Road.

The driver’s side mirror of the hatchback was smashed by a rock, before the vehicle drove away and attended a nearby service station, with the sedan arriving a short time later.
The driver of the hatchback – a 19-year-old man – and the occupants of the sedan – four teenage boys all aged 17 – proceeded to exit their vehicles before a further verbal altercation broke out.

No one was injured in the incident.
Officers from Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command have commenced an investigation in the incident.

He was charged with affray and use offensive implement with intent to commit indictable offence.
