Alarming footage has surfaced depicting occupants of an erratic ute, prominently displaying P-plates, allegedly hurling water bomb balloons at a young schoolboy, pedestrians, and other road users within the vicinity of Dover Heights.
A concerned motorist filmed the incident while the white ute travelled along Military Road in early 2 February 2024. The footage showed objects thrown from the driver and passenger windows at people walking on footpaths and a delivery driver on a bicycle waiting at an intersection. The objects splattered as they hit the ground.
A schoolboy standing on a roadside corner was hit by one of the objects, as close-up footage showed his soaked shirt. The ute was also filmed going down a one-way street in the wrong direction.
The man who filmed the incident supplied the footage to NSW Police but told the media that no action had been taken. Police, however, said they had no record of the complaint and asked for the details again.
The following day, the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command indicated that the incident was being investigated.
“’As investigations continue, anyone with information or dash-cam footage is asked to contact Eastern Suburbs Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 300 000.”
