A 37-year-old man has been charged after allegedly assaulting UNSW security guards in two separate incidents this week.
About 4pm on Tuesday (25 November 2025), a university security guard questioned a man who was walking around the Reid campus before being asked to leave.
Later that evening security officers again located the man on the university grounds, where police will allege one guard was spat on, and the man threatened to kill them before leaving the campus.
About 1.50pm yesterday (Wednesday, 26 November 2025), the man returned to the university and has allegedly spat on another security guard.
Later that day police located the man and placed him under arrest. Following a search of his belongings, police located a 10-centimetre knife.
He will face the ACT Magistrates court today charged with four counts of common assault, two counts of trespass on school premises and two counts of possessing a knife without reasonable excuse.
Anyone who witnessed these incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers via the Crime Stoppers ACT website, or on 1800 333 000. Please quote 8228202. Information can be provided anonymously.
