A Southside street has become the second worst street for assaults in Gympie following Mary St, according to a Queensland Police data website.
It was a busy year overall for Gympie police as they dealt with a total of 168 assaults, which was the highest recorded total since 2002 when there were 174 assaults.
Looking more closely at the data, the months of March, June and December had the most recordings, with December being the worst, at 22 assaults.
Acting Gympie Police Station officer in charge Scott Poole said the spike in December was due to more people travelling and drinking in the region during the holiday season.
