Police Brutality in Inner-City Sydney

The Incident: Assault and False Charges

Gabe* was walking with friends in an inner-city suburb one night when police officers alleged that he yelled abuse at them. A confrontation ensued, during which the police placed Gabe on the ground and one officer jumped on his knee, causing significant pain.

They then arrested him and charged him with using offensive language in a public place and assaulting a police officer in the execution of duty.

The Outcome: Unlawful Arrest, Assault, and Malicious Prosecution

O’Brien Criminal and Civil Solicitors acted for Gabe in an action against the police for wrongful arrest, assault, and malicious prosecution.

We filed the case in the District Court, and Gabe received significant compensation and damages for his treatment.
