Northern Territory Police have arrested a man after an aggravated assault in Moulden earlier today.
At around 6am, Police received reports that a man had unlawfully entered a business on Moulden Terrace and allegedly assaulted a woman with an edged weapon. The offender then fled the scene.
The 47-year-old woman was conveyed to Palmerston Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Detectives from Serious Crime have since arrested a 27-year-old man who is expected to be charged later today.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Andrew Kren said, "This was a violent attack on an unsuspecting victim going about her work.
"It was very lucky this woman wasn't more seriously injured; this was absolutely disgraceful behaviour."
