On the 17th of October, NSW Police reported they are investigating an alleged assault that occurred at the Sydney Opera House when the Israeli flag colours were illuminated on the World Heritage Site’s sails on the 9th of October at 7:30pm.
At that time, a 45-year-old man allegedly became involved in an argument with a male group. The man during the alleged argument was then allegedly assaulted and spat on. Police intervened & the arguers then dispersed and left the Sydney Opera House.
The 45-year-old man then reported the alleged assault to Maroubra Police. The next day, Operation Mealing investigators were notified & commenced an investigation. By 18th October, 3 men were charged with a total of 4 counts of common assault, who then attended Court as detailed above.
