A man has been charged with shining a laser at a police helicopter during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Sydney last night.
About 9.30pm (Saturday 31 December 2011), Polair 2 was monitoring crowds over Bradfield Park at Milsons Point when it was targeting by a laser on four occasions.
The helicopter crew were able to use their on board cameras to identify a suspect amongst the revellers.
They kept the man under surveillance while directing officers on the ground from the Public Order and Riot Squad to his location.
A short time later, police arrested the 27-year-old man and allegedly found the high-powered laser pointer in his pocket.
The Taiwanese National was interviewed through the use of an interpreter before being charged with threatening the safety of aircraft and the possession of a laser pointer in a public place.
The man has been forced to surrender his passport and has been bailed to appear at North Sydney Local Court on Tuesday 24 January this year.
The Polair crew was not injured and landed safely at Bankstown Airport later in the night.
