Former cricketer Michael Slater is reportedly in hospital after allegedly breaching bail and being arrested at a home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches on the evening of Australia’s National Day of Mourning for the Queen – Thursday September 22.
The arrest followed multiple calls to the triple zero emergency line made by a 53-year-old beauty therapist. Following the calls, Slater was reportedly taken to a Northern Beaches police station before being transported to hospital for a mental health assessment.
NSW police have applied for an interim AVO to protect the woman he was with at the time of arrest. The cricketer is prohibited from assaulting, threatening, stalking, harassing or intimidating the woman, nor can he be within 100m of her home or workplace.
NSW Police issued a statement to news.com.au.
“About 9:30 pm on Thursday 22 September 2022, officers from Northern Beaches Police Area Command responded to a report of a male allegedly causing a disturbance at a house at Wyuna Avenue, Freshwater,” the statement read.
“Police arrived and spoke with a 52-year-old man who was not a resident of the premises. The man was arrested after police detected he was allegedly in breach of bail.
“He was taken to Manly Police Station and later conveyed to Northern Beaches Hospital for assessment. Inquiries continue.”
Slater was already living with strict bail conditions following multiple assault, stalking and breaching bail charges. Slater already made headlines last month when an ex-partner came forward with disturbing text messages he is alleged to have sent, which included revenge porn threats.
Additionally, Slater allegedly assaulted a man at Frenchs Forest on Sydney’s Northern Beaches on July 18.
He is defending the charges and facing two counts of common assault and one count of attempt to stalk or intimidate intend fear of physical or mental harm.
