- Assault
A 19-year-old man from Young has narrowly avoided a full-time prison sentence for grabbing, verbally abusing and choking another person.
Toby Cameron Ferrari assaulted the victim three times, said they were "dead" and choked the victim between 11.50am and 2pm at Ultimo, Sydney on June 6 this year, facts say.
On the choking charge, Ferrari was sentenced by way of an intensive corrections order for a period of 12 months with a condition to complete 100 hours of community service.
He also received, for the remaining offences, multiple conditional release orders and a community corrections order.
According to facts, the series of assaults occurred at a park, cafe and at a residence at Ultimo. Magistrate Michael O'Brien described the facts as "disturbing".
"No event occurred that ought to precipitate what took place," Magistrate O'Brien said.
"What should have been a pleasant time in your life has resulted in you facing charges that can result in you facing full-time custody. The facts are cause for great concern."
