Man 'kicked officer during league brawl'
Posted
A man has been charged with assaulting a police officer during a football match on the New South Wales north coast yesterday.
Police say a number of officers were patrolling a rugby league grand final at Woolgoolga, north of Coffs Harbour, when a brawl broke out between about 10 spectators.
It is alleged a senior constable was kicked in the head and collapsed while trying to break up the fight.
She was taken to Coffs Harbour Hospital and has since been released.
A 21-year-old man was arrested at the scene and charged with assaulting a police officer.
He will appear in court later this month.
