A man will face court next month after a police officer was injured while dispersing a wild Lake Macquarie house party last night.
At about 10.15pm officers from Lake Macquarie Police District were called to a home on Bridgewater Close, Eleebana.
On arrival, they found more than 100 people in the street, where a number of people proceeded to throw glass bottles at them.
One officer was hit by a bottle, sustaining minor injuries, and a police vehicle was damaged.
Additional police attended and dispersed the crowd.
It’s then alleged a young man harassed a police dog, and attempted to incite the crowd to further attack officers.
The 21-year-old was arrested and taken to Belmont Police Station.
He was charged with fail to comply with direction, behave in offensive manner in/near public place/school, and resist or hinder police officer in the execution of duty.
He was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Belmont Local Court in April.
Investigations are ongoing, Police would like to speak to anyone who has information on attendees of the party.
