The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested and charged a 44-year-old male in relation to a domestic violence incident that occurred in Alice Springs yesterday evening.
Around 11pm, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report that a female aged in her 40s had been assaulted by her male partner. It is alleged the victim was bitten to the face by the offender, which resulted in significant facial injuries that required hospitalisation.
