Police have been told a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf about 2.30am (Tuesday 27 February 2024), before leaving the location. The younger man reported the incident and inquiries are now underway by officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command.”<\/span><\/p>\n While police did not confirm the identities of those involved, the outlet that first reported the incident named Scott as the 71-year-old and photographer\u00a0Ben McDonald as the 51-year-old. McDonald spoke with\u00a0<\/span>NCA Newswire<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and alleged that Scott became aggressive with him as they neared the group of paparazzi waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n “As she got closer, the security shoved his umbrella in my face and camera, then as she got in the car her dad decides to charge me and punch me in the chops” McDonald alleged, adding that he called the police to report the incident but did not require medical services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A spokesperson for the singer told ET, “Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water.”<\/span><\/p>\n The matter remains under investigation with Australian authorities at this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
