A 36 year old man will face court today after allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill his partner.
About 8:35 last night police attended a home in Pearce following reports of a disturbance between the man and his partner.
It’s alleged the man held a knife to the woman’s throat and threatened to kill her before fleeing the residence.
Upon arrival, officers conducted patrols of the surrounding area but were unable to locate the man.
Later that evening, the man allegedly returned to the residence and forced entry into his partner’s bedroom where he allegedly assaulted her and threatened to kill her before leaving the house.
The incident was reported to police and the 36 year old man, who was on parole, was arrested.
