The Northern Territory Police Force have arrested a 29-year-old male in relation to an aggravated assault in Woodroffe yesterday afternoon.

Around 3:15pm, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre (JESCC) received reports of a female exiting a Toyota Hilux on Chung Wah Terrace and sitting on the foot path in a distressed state, whilst the Hilux pulled up next to her.

An unknown member of the public, driving a white single cab utility, stopped to assist the female and spoke to the male driver of the Toyota Hilux from which she had exited.

The male driver of the Toyota Hilux subsequently left the scene, and the female victim left on foot. 

Around 3:50pm, the JESCC received further reports indicating that the male and female party had been involved in an altercation at a residence in Woodroffe earlier in the afternoon, where the male is alleged to have assaulted the female and forced her into his vehicle.

Initial investigations have found the male and female are known to each other and there is no apparent ongoing risk to the public.

Police later located and arrested a 29-year-old male who remains in custody with charges expected to follow.

Investigators believe the male who stopped to assist in the vehicle pictured may be able to assist in the investigation.
