Onlookers had to separate the pair who police say were not known to each other.

The teenager reported the incident to police and was assessed by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Royal North Shore Hospital.

Following a public appeal for information Laban attended St Marys Police Station on Monday afternoon and was charged with reckless grievous bodily harm. 

He was granted conditional bail and will next appear in court on June 22. 

The former reality star had previously vanished from Instagram after his stint on Love Island.

A series of unproven claims were put to him which Laban categorically denied.

‘I was told what was happening… What was going on was massive on the outside world,’ he said, adding at the time that he was ‘ready to leave’.

Responding to one Instagram follower who called him out for contacting her on Instagram when she was 16, he said: ‘Just so you know, honey, 16 is legal age.’

‘You followed me and I may have replied, but it’s not illegal to reply to a 16-year-old, and secondly, you hit me up and I got that screenshot,’ he added.

Laban went on to say the unproven claims were years old.
