An altercation at a soccer match in south-west Sydney has led to charges against a man after an 18-year-old was allegedly bitten during the incident.
The violent clash erupted around 3:30 p.m. yesterday during an under-17 boys’ soccer game at Amour Park in Revesby.
According to police reports, several spectators stormed onto the field following a skirmish between the players.
Paramedics attended to the 18-year-old victim on-site, who was later transported to Liverpool Hospital to receive additional medical care for multiple injuries.
The injuries sustained included a bite wound on his back.
After investigations began, police arrested a 47-year-old Greenacre man.
He was taken to Bankstown Police Station, where he was charged with affray and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was granted conditional bail to appear in Bankstown Local Court next month.
