Man charged after airport gun drama rearrested over alleged Central Station assaults
A 41-year-old man who allegedly resisted arrest at Sydney Airport on Wednesday, leading to a scuffle that saw a police officer's firearm discharged inside the terminal, has been rearrested over a series of random alleged assaults at Central Station. A little less than 36 hours after the airport ruckus, Victorian man Nicholas Teplin was arrested again, after he allegedly assaulted four commuters at Central Station on Thursday afternoon, and then a police officer inside Surry Hills police station. Police were called to the station's main concourse following reports that a 45-year-old man had been punched in the face, causing him to fall to the floor and for his nose to bleed. After the first assault, police will allege Teplin struck two men in the head as he walked through the concourse. Teplin then allegedly approached a fourth man, aged in his 20s, and attempted to take a bag from his shoulders, leading to a scuffle. NSW Police officers intervened and arrested the man. Police, who said the attacks were 'random', are appealing for anyone threatened during the incident to come forward. 'There was no reason for him to attack those people he allegedly attacked,' Sydney City Police Area Command's Chief Inspector Gary Coffey told reporters on Friday. While at Surry Hills police station, Teplin allegedly assaulted a male constable by pushing him in the chest. 'He was [allegedly] combative in custody,' Coffey said.
