Sydney man tasered after assault IT took four police officers, a blast of capsicum spray and a shot from a Taser to subdue a Sydney man who allegedly assaulted a woman in Sydney's northwest. Police say they were called to a Hunters Hill address at about 6.10pm (AEST) on Wednesday to find a woman aged in her thirties who had been assaulted. When four police officers tried to arrest a man aged in his forties he resisted and was capsicum sprayed and tasered before he could be taken into custody. The assaulted woman was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital for treatment along with a probationary officer who received stitches to cuts on his face after he was injured during the arrest.
