A 32-year-old man was arrested at work on Tuesday and charged with allegedly assaulting his partner in three separate incidents, one of which the woman needed hospital treatment.
The woman reported the series of alleged assaults to the Woden Police Station on Tuesday afternoon.
Police say that on July 25, the couple began arguing at the man’s residence in Florey. He allegedly began to choke her and only stopped when other occupants of the home became aware of the incident and intervened.
On August 19 the man allegedly assaulted the woman while they were in a vehicle, slapping her and grabbing her hair. The woman was rendered unconscious and required hospitalisation as a result of her injuries.
On August 28, the man allegedly assaulted the woman again while at an address in Braddon, slapping her and pulling her to the ground, causing further injuries.
He has been charged with three counts of aggravated common assault, two counts of aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm, choking, suffocating or strangling another person, reckless threat to kill a person, aggravated reckless threat to inflict grievous bodily harm and aggravated common assault.
