A Bondi Rescue star has avoided a conviction for putting his hand on a woman’s neck ‘in a fit of alcoholic rage’.
Lifeguard Andrew ‘Reidy’ Reid, 45, faced Hornsby Local Court on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of common assault.
According to the NCA Newswire, Magistrate Daniel Reiss dismissed both counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
However, he was found guilty of pushing a woman’s neck for up to five seconds in an ‘an aggressive act that amounted to common assault’ without proceeding to a conviction.
It was also found that Mr Reid made a ‘fairly clear admission of assault’ during a counselling session and had recognised that he had acted inappropriately.
Mr Reid was handed a 12-month good behaviour bond after being found guilty of pushing the woman’s neck for up to five seconds.
He will also remain subject to a two-year apprehended violence order taken out in the woman’s name.
