Police in Australia have arrested a man after one of the stars of the hit US show Modern
Family was allegedly assaulted during a trip to the country. Sarah Hyland, known for her
role as oldest sibling Haley, was posing for a photo with a fan outside a venue in Sydney
when a man allegedly groped her chest.
New South Wales Police say a 29-year-old man was arrested at the scene and charged with
indecent assault. After the incident, Sarah tweeted:
Sorry to all the fans outside #qantas event that I didn't get to say hi to but I had to leave
due to an inappropriate touch of a fan.
Sarah was in Oz filming an episode with her cast members when the incident happened. They're
scheduled to shoot scenes for a special holiday episode in Sydney, Hayman Island and the Great
Barrier Reef.
