A man will face court today after an alleged unprovoked assault in the Hunter region.
About 8.40am yesterday (Thursday 3 September 2020), a 31-year-old woman was at Charlestown Square, when she was approached by an unknown man who allegedly pulled her hair until she fell to the ground.
It’s further alleged the man yelled at the woman, before he ran away.
Officers from Lake Macquarie Police District attended and commenced an investigation.
Following inquiries, police attended the Newcastle Motel on the Pacific Highway, Charlestown, about 10am the same day.
A 39-year-old man was arrested at the motel and taken to Belmont Police Station, where he was charged with common assault and affray.
