'Police assaulted me'

In a statement of complaint lodged the day after the February 8 incident, Ms Whiley said she was walking Jacob home in a stroller along Willawong Rd, Caringbah, when four police officers blocked her path. She asked bystanders, "What's happening?'' and was told there was "some kind of raid'' being carried out at a nearby Housing Commission block of units.
"I said, 'Oh, OK - I have to get past,''' Ms Whiley said in her statement. "I walked right up to where the four officers were standing in the walkway with my pram and said, 'Excuse me'. "I was going to go on to the road and around them but I couldn't because there was a bicycle approaching me and four or five cars on the road.
