Western Sydney Wanderers' Kearyn Baccus has been charged with punching a man in the chest over a car space in Sydney.
Baccus, 25, was charged on Wednesday with common assault following the altercation with a 49-year-old man in Arncliffe, in the city's south, three weeks ago, police say.
"Police will allege the younger man has punched the older man in the chest," a NSW police spokeswoman told AAP on Thursday.
