During the incident, the car came into contact with the employee before leaving the area; however, the employee was not seriously injured.
After an investigation by police from Lake Macquarie Local Area Command, a 42-year-old man was arrested yesterday today. .
He has been charged with
• Assault
• Stealing from a dwelling

The man was granted conditional bail and will appear in Belmont Local Court on Wednesday 25 May 2016.
