Two NSW Police Officers Charged Over Alleged Hit-and-Run Involving E-Bike Rider

Two NSW Police officers have been charged following an alleged hit-and-run incident involving an e-bike rider in Sydney’s inner west.

The incident occurred at approximately 5:00am on 12 May near Glebe Point Road, where a 25-year-old woman riding an e-bike was allegedly struck by a fully marked police vehicle.

According to a statement released by NSW Police, the officers on duty at the time allegedly failed to stop and provide assistance after the collision and instead drove away from the scene.

The woman reportedly contacted emergency services before later reporting the incident to police.

Following an investigation, detectives on Monday charged a 27-year-old male constable with:

Neglecting, refusing, or failing to carry out a lawful order as a police officer
Negligent driving
Failing to provide particulars to another driver following a crash

Police will allege before the court that the officer was driving the police vehicle when the collision occurred.

A second officer, a 25-year-old male constable, has also been charged with neglecting, refusing, or failing to carry out a lawful order as a police officer.

Both officers have been issued Court Attendance Notices and are scheduled to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on 15 January.

The matter remains before the courts, and further legal proceedings are expected in the coming months.
