Police have released CCTV images as they investigate an alleged assault in the CBD last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 7.30pm on Monday 9 October 2023, a 45-year-old man allegedly became involved in an argument with a group of men near the Sydney Opera House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An argument ensued during which the man was allegedly assaulted and spat on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police intervened and the group, including the alleged victim, dispersed and left the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man later reported the assault to Maroubra Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
