Serious domestic assault charge

A 36-year-old man has been charged with serious domestic assault.

Around 3.25pm on Saturday, a woman was drinking with her partner at a property on Greenhill Road.

The woman received a text from a former partner which caused an argument that allegedly resulted in the man assaulting the woman.

Police were called and the man, despite having left the property, was traced and arrested.
