Man critical after alleged Bulli assault

A MAN remains in a serious condition after he was allegedly assaulted at Bulli earlier this week.

The 75-year-old man became involved in an argument with a 25-year-old man, who is believed to have been working on the construction of the new Bulli Hospital.

The altercation is alleged to have stemmed over a parking issue in Hospital Road about 7am on Wednesday. It is alleged the younger man struck the older man causing him to fall to the ground, hitting his head.

Emergency services were called to the scene and the man was treated by paramedics before being taken to Wollongong Hospital. He was later transferred to Prince of Wales Hospital as his condition deteriorated.

A crime scene was established and an investigation commenced.

Yesterday (Thursday), police went to an address at Campbelltown and arrested a 25-year-old man. He was taken to Campbelltown Police Station and charged with reckless grievous bodily harm.

He was granted conditional bail to appear in Campbelltown Local Court on May 14.
