A 41-year-old Phillip man allegedly used a brick to damage his partner’s vehicle while she was sitting inside at about 10.30pm on Saturday.
Police also allege he grabbed her and threatened to kill her before she managed to flee and call for help.
The man was found nearby and arrested.
He has been charged with recklessly threaten to kill a person, aggravated common assault, possessing an offensive weapon with intent, and property damage.
In a separate matter, police have charged a 47-year-old Strathnairn man with assault of his partner multiple times since September.
Police allege the man shoved his partner to the ground, strangled her, restrained her, and threw items at her. The incidents were reported to police and he was arrested on Saturday morning.
He has been charged with two counts of aggravated common assault, as well as choking/suffocating/strangling another person, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Both men will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday.
