A Hawker man will front the ACT Magistrates Court today following serious domestic violence allegations that have rocked the quiet Canberra suburb.
The 35-year-old faces multiple charges including assaulting his partner and contravening a family violence order, according to court documents released on Tuesday.
Police Response and Charges
ACT Policing confirmed the man was arrested following an incident at a residential property in Hawker. Officers responded to reports of a domestic disturbance, leading to the man being taken into custody.
The accused now faces two serious charges:
- Assault occasioning actual bodily harm
- Contravening a family violence order
Legal Proceedings Begin
The case has been listed for mention in the ACT Magistrates Court, where the man will formally answer to the allegations. The matter represents another instance of domestic violence coming before the territory's judicial system.
Family violence remains a significant concern across the ACT, with authorities continuing to emphasise the importance of reporting such incidents and supporting victims.
The accused has been granted conditional bail ahead of his court appearance, with strict conditions imposed to ensure the safety of the alleged victim.
