A man has been charged following a serious assault on a rural property, 60km north of Casino, yesterday afternoon (31 October).

A 49-year-old man was seriously injured after being attacked by another man armed with a metal bar at Terrace Creek, between 1pm and 2pm.

The injured man was taken to Kyogle Hospital then transferred to Lismore Base Hospital where he is being treated for a fractured left ankle and left thumb, an injured left forearm, and bruising down the left side of his body.

Police from Richmond Local Area Command went to the property and arrested a 52-year-old man.

He was taken to Lismore Police Station where he was charged with reckless wounding, and possession of a prohibited drug.

He was refused bail, to appear in Lismore Local Court today.
