Elderly man, 75, rushed to hospital after fight over parking space
A 75-year-old man is in hospital after he was allegedly assaulted by a younger man in a parking dispute near Wollongong.
The older man became involved in a verbal altercation with the 25-year-old on Hospital Road in Bulli on Wednesday, according to NSW Police.
It is understood they were arguing over the placement of bins in a parking spot.
"It is alleged the younger man struck the older man causing him to fall to the ground, hitting his head," police said in a statement on Friday.
The 75-year-old was taken to Wollongong Hospital but later transferred to Prince of Wales Hospital after his condition deteriorated.
He’s currently in a critical but stable condition.
Police on Thursday arrested the younger man at a home in Campbelltown, in Sydney's southwest.
He was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm and is due before Campbelltown Local Court on May 14.
