Mathieu van der Poel has been charged with assault and had his passport seized after an alleged altercation in Wollongong on Saturday.

"We don't know all the details and we don't want to speculate too much about it. Obviously, there was a report made to police about Mathieu."

"It's true, yes. There was a small dispute. It was about noisy neighbours and they are quite strict here," Van der Poel told Sporza. "It's further alleged the man then pushed both teenagers, with one falling to the ground and the other being pushed into a wall causing a minor graze to her elbow.
