The Northern Territory police commissioner is considering a second youth curfew in Alice Springs after a string of recent incidents including the alleged assault of four off-duty police officers. Police say the off-duty officers – three women and a man – were walking along the Todd River walkway about 2.15am on Sunday morning when they were allegedly approached from behind by around 20 young men who proceeded to assault them.
Police allege that one woman was pulled to the ground and had her bag stolen, another woman was punched in the face, kicked “multiple times” and had her mobile phone taken, while the man was also punched and kicked several times. The group of 20 then left the area as the four alleged victims returned to their accomodation and called police, a statement alleged. Two of the women were later taken to Alice Springs hospital for the treatment of minor wounds.
