Man arrested for domestic assault

Police were called to a home in the early hours of this morning, Thursday 3 September by a report of an assault.

The victim sustained minor injuries.

A 41-year-old man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

As well as facing serious charges, the man was issued a Police Interim Intervention Order (PIIO), which provides further protection for the victim.

These Orders provide police with greater powers to take immediate action to protect individuals and their families not only from physical violence - but also threatening and controlling behaviour.

The arrested man has been bailed to appear at a later date in the Victor Harbor Magistrates Court.

Do you know of someone involved in a violent domestic relationship? Don’t turn a blind eye, ask the right questions, listen to those who need to talk, do not accept the view of those who would be flippant about the issue.  Call police immediately.
