Dozens of people are facing $1000 fines after police broke up a boozy late-night house party in Sydney's north-west on Saturday night.
More than 60 people were partying at the house at Nottingham Street in Schofields when police arrived just before midnight following a noise complaint. The maximum number of guests allowed at a home is 20 people under the Public Health Order.
A massive police presence attended the party with helicopters, the dog squad and officers from six local area commands called in. The party was hosted at a holiday rental property, NSW Police said.
A 15-person brawl broke out inside the house when police arrived, with many of the guests intoxicated. Police officers used pepper spray to disperse the drunken crowd.
Three men were taken to Blacktown Hospital, two for minor injuries from the brawl and the third for alcohol intoxication.
Police intend to issue up to 60 people with $1000 COVID penalty infringement notices for breaching the health order.
