The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested a 20-year-old male in relation to a domestic violence incident that occurred yesterday evening.

Around 5:40pm, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received multiple reports that a female had been forced into a vehicle by a male known to her.

It is alleged the male attended a residence on Hawkins Court and kicked the front door until he was able to gain access. Once inside, he threatened the female and other residents with a blunt weapon before physically assaulting the female. The male then forced the female into a vehicle and fled the area for a short period before returning to the residence.

Police deployed and established a cordon at the residence. Upon police approach, the alleged offender attempted to flee to a neighbouring property, where he physically resisted police before being arrested without further incident.

The victim was located inside the residence with non-life-threatening injuries and did not require further medical assistance.

The 20-year-old alleged offender remains in police custody with charges expected to follow.
