Police seeking assistance following alleged assault

About 2.20am on Thursday 10 July 2025, emergency services were called to an ambulance station in Crookwell, following reports a paramedic was assaulted.

Officers from The Hume Police District were told the paramedic saw an unknown man trying to enter his personal vehicle parked outside the station.

The paramedic approached the man, who assaulted him.

The man left the scene prior to police arrival.

The paramedic was not injured; however, he was taken to Goulburn Hospital for observation.

Police were unable to locate the man after conducting extensive patrols of the area.

Police have commenced an investigation and have released a description of a man, who they believe may be to assist with inquiries.

The man is described as being aged in his 30s, of solid build, about 180cm tall, and he was wearing a dark jacket with hoodie underneath.

Inspector David Cowell from the Yass Police Station is appealing to the community for information to assist in identifying this offender.

"This was a deeply troubling incident and believe the individual responsible may have been attempting to break into cars in the area,” he said.
