A MAN has been arrested after he seriously assaulted a woman in the front yard of a Rivett home earlier this month.
Police were called to the assault on March 10, and when they arrived, the man, a 26-year-old, drove at police in a stolen, silver BMW before fleeing.
The car was discovered on fire in Watson later that evening.
Yesterday (March 19), police received a report that the man had returned to the Rivett residence, and arrested him there.
The man is suspected to have been involved in a number of offences in the ACT since March 10 and investigations into these matters are continuing.
Today, he has been charged with six offences, including dangerous driving, use of an offensive weapon to hinder his own detention, interference with a marked police vehicle, failing to stop for police, not stopping to give assistance and breach of good behaviour obligations.
He faces charges at the ACT Magistrates Court.
