Bill Bayeh arrested after nurse assault

Kings Cross identity Bill Bayeh has been arrested for the second time in four days after allegedly assaulting the ex-wife of colourful businessman Geoffrey Edelsten.

Bayeh, 56, was allegedly involved in an argument with Mr Edelsten's ex-wife Leanne Nesbitt, who is a nurse at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney.

Police allege Bayeh pushed Ms Nesbitt in the chest on Sunday night outside the hospital.

It is understood Ms Nesbitt, who works as an intensive care nurse, was on her way to work when the altercation occurred.

Kings Cross police arrested Bayeh and charged him with common assault.

It was the second time in four days Bayeh was dragged before the police station of his old stomping ground.

He was arrested on Thursday night after he allegedly attempted to destroy a piece of paper when police searched him in Kings Cross.

He is accused of struggling with police before being handcuffed.

Police charged Bayeh with hindering police and resisting arrest.

He is due to face court next month over both incidents.

Ms Nesbitt lived a glamorous lifestyle as Mr Edelsten's wife before the pair split in the late 80's.
