Drone sparks alleged beach brawl in Sydney’s east

A brawl allegedly broke out at a beach in Sydney’s east following a disagreement over a drone.

Police were called to Little Congwong Beach in La Perouse about 7pm Friday following reports of an alleged assault.

Officers were told a 57-year-old and 24-year-old man were arguing with a 31-year-old man over the use of a drone in the area.

The 31-year-old then allegedly assaulted the pair, who were then treated for facial injuries by NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene.

The man was taken to Waverley Police Station and charged with common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, destroy or

damage property less than or equal to $2000 (two counts), and refuse/fail to comply with direction.

The 31-year-old was granted conditional bail and is set to front Waverley Local Court on February 12.
