A 28-year-old Constable from Southern District is due to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court on 8 August 2025, having today been served with a summons to appear on two charges of common assault.

The offences are alleged to have been committed in Hobart on 19 November 2024.

The officer was on duty at the time of the incident. He has been placed on non-operational duties.
