Northern Territory Police have arrested a man following an alleged aggravated assaulted in Darwin City earlier this afternoon.
At around 3pm, police received information that two people had been assaulted on Briggs Street with an edged weapon by the offender before he fled the scene.

Detectives from the Serious Crime Squad are investigating. Detective A/Superintendent Mark Malogorski reassured the public there is no threat to public safety.
