New details revealed about Harry Garside’s alleged domestic violence against ex-partner Ash Ruscoe

Shocking new details about Olympic boxer Harry Garside’s alleged assault of his ex-girlfriend have come to light after he was bailed following his arrest when he touched down in Sydney following his stint on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Garside, 25, was stopped by NSW Police on Tuesday after returning from South Africa, where he came a close runner-up to former champion netballer Liz Ellis on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

The Olympic bronze medallist is accused of committing domestic assault against his ex-girlfriend, Ash Ruscoe, at a property in Bondi in March.

After spending two hours in a Sydney police station, Garside said he would release a full statement in due course, but told 7News that the arrest was ‘very confronting’.

He has been charged with domestic-violence-related common assault and will appear at Sydney’s Downing Center Local Court on May 24.

Police will allege Garside hit his former partner in the head with his elbow and spat in her face, and that there was a physical clash over a mobile phone, News Corp reported.

The fighter was believed to be visiting Ruscoe’s Bondi flat to get his possessions after their break-up, according to the publication.

On Wednesday morning she told Seven’s Sunrise program she was not surprised by the charges against Garside.

NSW Police released the following statement on the matter.

He was taken to Mascot Police Station and charged with common assault (DV). He was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Center Local Court on Wednesday 24 May 2023.’

Garside recently shared a picture of himself and his father on Instagram, taken in business class on a Qantas flight.

He captioned the post: ‘Had to upgrade my best mate to do business with me. What an experience it has been. Something I will truly never forget, friendships that will last a lifetime.’
