A 79-year-old man has died in hospital following an alleged assault and road rage incident on the NSW South Coast last month.
In a statement, NSW Police said at at around 1.25pm on Tuesday, March 17th, emergency services were called to Moona Creek Road at Vincentia, about 7km north of Sanctuary Point, after a report of an alleged road rage incident and assault.
“Police were told the occupants of a Toyota Corolla attempted to speak to the female driver of Ford Territory, before she allegedly assaulted a 79-year-old man causing him to fall,” NSW Police said.
“He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for a serious head injury before being airlifted to St George Hospital in a serious condition.
“Officers attached to South Coast Police District were notified and commenced inquiries into the incident.”
Two days after the incident, police charged a 32-year-old woman who remains before the courts.
Yesterday, officers attached to South Coast Police District were notified that the 79-year-old had died in hospital, NSW Police confirmed.
