FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A total of 57 people have been arrested and 69 charges laid in what has been a mainly peaceful and orderly start to the new year in Sydney.
NSW Police deployed more than 2800 officers under Operation Vela across the CBD, Sydney Harbour, beachside locations and public transport, and praised the well-behaved crowds.
“Despite the arrests, the majority of party-goers welcomed in the New Year without incident,” Operation Vela commander Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch said.
“Family and friends were able to come out and enjoy the fireworks and celebrations in safety due to the well-behaved majority.”
Among those arrested was a 27-year-old man, who was detained at McMahons Point just after 10pm (AEDT) on Saturday after he was intercepted pointing a laser light at the police helicopter. Charges are expected to be laid.
About 11.30pm (AEDT), police and paramedics responded to reports of a male aged in his early 20s who had impaled his left thigh after attempting to jump a fence in the Botanic Gardens.
About 1am (AEDT) on Sunday, a 17-year-old female was arrested following a foot pursuit by police. It’s alleged she stole a handbag from a female on the corner of Market and York streets, and police are considering laying charges charges.
“While there were some intoxicated persons in the city, it was reassuring to see that the vast majority of revellers knew their limits and were able to enjoy the night.
“Sydney showed the rest of the world how to have a good time, safely,” Mr Murdoch said.
Meanwhile the Sydney Harbour Bridge has reopened, after earlier being the centrepiece of the city’s New Year Eve celebrations.
The Anzac Bridge and Western Distributor have also reopened. However, people catching public transport from the festivities were being told to expect some delays.
There have been large volumes of people at all train stations in the CBD, North Sydney and Milsons Point.
Ferry services to Manly, Mosman, Neutral Bay and Woolwich have also resumed.
