Police investigate after brawl at Castle Hill, Sydney construction site
Don't miss out on the headlines from News. Followed categories will be added to My News. A father and son have been arrested following a large brawlthat broke out at a construction site in Sydney's northwest on Tuesday, police say. Video circulating online shows the chaotic moment a large group of people in high-vis clothing and construction gear trade punchesin Castle Hill at about 7am on Tuesday. The minute-long video shows tradies attacking each other in the middle of the street before splitting into separate groups. People punch and kick each other during the violent exchange. One man uses his hard hat to repeatedly hit another over the head. The video, posted to a community Facebook group, has been shared more than 1000 times. Police said they responded to reports of a fight involvingup to 50 peopleon Sexton Ave in Castle Hill. 'Officers have been informed that the brawl involved two apparent groups wearing high-vis clothing and construction attire,' NSW police said in a statement. Most had left the scene by the time police arrived. Police have since arrested two men, aged 22 and 44, who handed themselves in early on Wednesday morning. 'I'm grateful that they have turned up this morning because we were about to knock on their door,' Detective Superintendent Naomi Moore told reporters. 'I'm told that (they're) father and son.' 'They're currently inside the police station being spoken to by detectives and I expect the charges will be laid very shortly,' she added. Police understand the two men were contractors who had been terminated from their roles on Friday and tried to 'resolve' the outcome on Monday. 'One would argue they haven't (resolved the issue), as they've attended with hammers,' she said. 'But it wasn't good intentions, quite clearly, and for them to return again on Tuesday is concerning to us.' Superintendent Moore said the pair returned to the site on Tuesday, allegedly with other people who were not known to have worked there previously. Superintendent Moore described the melee as 'absolutely appalling'. Police confirmed paramedics treated two men, aged 43 and 55, for minor injuries at the scene before transporting them to Westmead Hospital. One man received a laceration to his eye 'that required some stitches', and the other suffered a broken nose. 'They were released within a couple of hours following that treatment,' Superintendent Moore said. Another 11 people actively involved in the brawl are being encouraged to come forward. 'There's significant footage in nearby locations to that scene that is much clearer and we'll be very clearly able to identify those parties,' she said. 'We encourage those people to come forward at a time that's convenient to them, preferably today, before we go and knock on their door because that will be happening.' Police are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage to contact Castle Hill Police Station or Crime Stoppers.
