NSW man charged after assault at Summernats

A 27-year-old Central Coast (NSW) man has been extradited from NSW to face a serious assault charge following an incident at Summernats earlier this year.  

About 3.30pm on Saturday 8 January 2022, a man was assaulted during an altercation in the grandstand at the burnout area of the event. 

An investigation was conducted by officers from Tuggeranong Station and following a public call for information, a person of interest was identified.  

An arrest warrant was issued and on Monday (12 April 2021) the 27-year-old was arrested by NSW Police to face extradition proceedings in Wyong Court.  

The man’s extradition to the ACT was approved and he is scheduled to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Wednesday, 13 April 2022) where he will face one charge of recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm.  

ACT Policing urges people to consider their actions when socialising and attending events. Information on the End Your Night Right campaign is available on the ACT Policing website.
