The event in Croydon Park, situated in the city’s inner west, forced residents into a prolonged lockdown after the barrage of bullets left cars in the vicinity riddled with bullet holes.

He’s accused of engaging in a shootout with NSW Police after officers were allegedly targeted.

Although no law enforcement officers were injured, over a dozen people received treatment for minor wounds, predominantly from shattered glass, as confirmed by acting Superintendent Stephen Parry of NSW Police yesterday.

One man underwent surgery and is expected to survive after being shot in the neck while riding in the back seat of a car.

The shots were allegedly fired from the window of a unit above a shop during a nearly two-hour stand-off.

Mintzas was arrested after tactical officers stormed the unit, where they allegedly seized a rifle and ammunition.

Mintzas was taken to hospital for minor injuries and was later taken to a police station to be charged.

He was formally charged late yesterday with 25 offenses, which include 18 counts of attempting to murder by shooting, alongside charges for possessing an unregistered firearm and illegal possession of ammunition.

Mintzas did not apply for bail today.

His case will return to court on December 3.
