A 28-year-old man has been charged with seriously assaulting and forcibly confining a 78-year-old man at his home over three days.
Police allege the 28-year-old man arranged to stay with the 78-year-old man at his home in Bruce in early October, but between Wednesday and Friday he repeatedly assaulted the older man, including kicking and choking him.
The older man left the home last night to seek medical attention.
The 28-year-old, who had been arrested earlier that evening for unrelated offences, was charged with three counts of intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm, forcible confinement and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
