An 18-year-old man is facing charges after allegedly assaulting a NSW Ambulance Paramedic in New Lambton last night.

About 9.30pm (Monday 26 January 2015), police were called to a loud party on Bridges Road.

The man was allegedly observed to be well-affected by alcohol or drugs and became aggressive and abusive towards police.

Due to his level of intoxication and behaviour he was arrested and an ambulance was called to convey the man to hospital for assessment.

Police will allege that whilst in the ambulance, the man remained violent and abusive and spat on a female Paramedic as she was trying to treat him.

The driver of the ambulance immediately stopped and the escorting police were forced to restrain the man again, before he was taken to hospital.

The NSW Ambulance Paramedics were not injured during the incident.

Due to his level of intoxication, the man will be issued with a future court attendance notice for offensive behaviour, common assault and assaulting an ambulance officer

The woman who was swept off rocks while fishing near Newcastle on Saturday night has died in hospital today.

The woman was with a friend fishing on a rock platform at Frazer Park, Lake Munmorah, about 7.35pm (Saturday 24 January 2015), when she was washed into the water.

Her friend grabbed a floatation device and jumped in after her but he was unable to bring her back to safety.

Emergency services were called to the scene, while a police officer attached to the Tuggerah Lakes Drug and Anti-Theft Unit patrolling nearby, entered the water to assist the pair.

He kept the woman afloat until she was winched out by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

Newcastle Water Police and Maritime officers then assisted the officer and the man from the water and returned them to shore.

The woman was taken to John Hunter Hospital where she later died.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

The rider involved in the serious motorcycle crash at Warners Bay has died in hospital about 8.40am today (Monday 26 January 2015).

About 12.15am, a 29-year-old man was riding a Honda CBR250R motorcycle along King Street at Warners Bay.

As the motorcycle passed the intersection with Myall Street it has struck a kerb, mounted the footpath and travelled some distance before striking a sign post.

The driver was thrown from the machine onto the roadway and was discovered by other motorists who contacted police.

Officers from Lake Macquarie Local Area Command attended along with Ambulance Paramedics who conveyed the rider to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition.

Investigators believe that alcohol and speed may have been factors in the crash and that the man was not licensed to ride motorcycles.

Inquiries into the incident continue and police have urged anyone that might have witnessed the incident to come forward.

A report is being prepared for the Coroner.
