A 47-year-old woman has been arrested and charged following an aggravated assault in Darwin City last week.

Around 9:45pm on Friday, 27 February, a 57-year-old male was allegedly pushed by a female, causing him to fall backwards and hit his head on the concrete outside a premises on Mitchell Street.

He was transported to Royal Darwin Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

The alleged offender, who is believed to be known to the victim and fled the scene, was located and arrested on Tuesday, 3 March following initial investigations.

She has been charged with Recklessly Endangering Serious Harm and is due to appear in court today.
