Woman Arrested Following
A confrontation at a New South Wales high school this week has gone viral after police, students, and a parent became involved.
Officers were called over reports that students had been “throwing rocks at passing cars.”
While police questioned students, a woman—said to be related to one of them—intervened.
Video footage shows an officer “allegedly pushing the woman to the ground,” sparking outrage and debate online.
NSW Police confirmed she was charged with “hindering police and resisting arrest” and said the use of force will be reviewed.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as “chaotic and distressing,” with students and parents expressing fear.
The clip spread rapidly on social media, dividing opinion over police conduct. Some argued the officer used “excessive force,” while others said the woman “escalated the situation.”
The Department of Education is now investigating, as the incident raises questions about accountability, de-escalation, and school safety.
