A 34-year-old Reid man will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning after allegedly assaulting a security guard in the Canberra Centre on Saturday morning.
About 10.30am on Saturday (20 April 2024), police received a report that a man had allegedly punched a security guard before leaving the scene on foot.
After speaking with witnesses and analysing CCTV footage, police identified the man as the 34-year-old who had also allegedly been issued a banning notice from the Centre earlier in the week.
Police located the man at a nearby residence later on Saturday evening, where he was arrested and charged with common assault and unlawful trespass.
