A Putty man is one of seven charged after a police operation in Colo on Sunday morning, where police allege they were attacked by climate activists.
Around 8:30am on Sunday morning, police looking into the planning of unauthorised protests across NSW, were conducting planned investigations at the property on Putty Road in Colo.
Police allege they were approached by a group of people, who surrounded them and slashed the tyres of an unmarked police vehicle which officers had retreated to.
More officers were called to the scene, and five men and two women were arrested and taken to Windsor Police Station.
A 24-year-old man from Putty faces charges for six offences, including affray, assaulting without actual bodily harm, intimidating, and obstructing a police officer, property damage, and aiding in the commission of crimes.
It's understood, none of the police officers were injured.
Blockade Australia is describing the police presence which led to the incident as an "overreach".
Police are returning to the property on Monday.
