A 55-year-old woman he was with was charged with common assault and hindering or resisting police.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers attached to Surry Hills Police Area Command arrived and were told an 18-year-old man was involved in a verbal argument with two people \u2013 not known to him \u2013 before he was allegedly assaulted by them,\u201d NSW Police told The Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n
\u201cA short time later, police stopped a tram at Moore Park Light Rail Station and attempted to speak to a man; however, he left the scene after assaulting a Senior Constable, who sustained minor injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s lawyer Paul McGirr says he is seeking bail for his client who he admits, \u201cneeds some help\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe incident certainly involves a fight between two people, I don\u2019t know much more, they didn\u2019t know each other, there\u2019s been an argument over some clap sticks, people getting in each other\u2019s faces,\u201d McGirr told The Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy client\u2019s hightailed it out of there, some police officers have tried to apprehend him, but they haven\u2019t announced their office or what he\u2019s under arrest for.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had a successful case against the police for not complying with their powers in the past, he gets in a heightened state when people are trying to apprehend him without informing him why.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt certainly appears he needs some help, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to try to do when we apply for bail tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
