Parramatta Eels NRLW player Kate Fallon has been charged with assault after an alleged incident involving a 17-year-old girl at an apartment complex in Chifley, Sydney, last Wednesday.
Police allege the altercation was related to a food delivery order. The teenager's father claimed his daughter was knocking on neighbours' doors after not receiving a $70 order. The alleged victim suffered a 5cm gash on her head, requiring three stitches, and was taken to Prince of Wales Hospital.
Fallon, 20, was arrested at the apartment complex at around 1:30pm and taken to Maroubra police station. She was later released after being charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Fallon had been named in the reserves for Parramatta's round one clash with Brisbane on Saturday.
The Parramatta Eels released a statement saying they are aware of the incident and have advised the NRL integrity unit. The club stated they will not make further comment as it is a police matter.
Fallon is due to face Waverley Local Court on 14 August.
