A man has been charged following an investigation into an alleged assault and stolen car at North Lambton.
Police were called to a home on Acacia Avenue about 11:00am on Wednesday (16th of August 2023), and were told a man had been assaulted and had his car stolen.
The 65-year-old man was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for a laceration to his arm.
A short time later, police located the car abandoned on Mayo Street at Jesmond.
Police canvassed the area with assistance from PolAir and the Dog Unit, however the man was unable to be located.
Following extensive inquiries and a public appeal, a 36-year-old man was arrested at Waratah at about 12:40pm yesterday (17th of August 2023).
He was refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today (Friday 18th of August).
