Bondi Rescue lifesaver Andrew Reid will defend domestic violence charges over alleged assaults in Sydney.
The 45-year-old, known as “Reidy” in the series, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of common assault, which allegedly took place between November 2022 and January of this year on the city’s North Shore, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
He also faces a third assault charge, which dates back to March, while a fourth domestic violence charge was dismissed.
Reid’s lawyer Margaret Cunneen says the allegations will be “vigorously defended”.
“There are three very disparate allegations with a long time in between all, of which on the defence case, could be accounted for by an accident,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Reid made headlines for helping people during the deadly Bondi Junction attack in Sydney’s east in April.
The hearing will continue in March next year.
