Serious Crime Detectives have charged the 26-year-old man arrested earlier today following an aggravated assault incident in Palmerston last weekend.

The two men were waiting to be served when an argument escalated and the 26-year-old allegedly assaulted a 33-year-old man with an edged weapon, before fleeing the scene.

He was charged with:

• acts intend to cause serious harm
• drive whilst disqualified
• assault police
• disorderly behaviour in a police station

He was remanded in custody and will appear in Darwin Local Court at a later date.
