A woman has been arrested over a domestic violence incident in Ballina yesterday (Sunday, December 18).
Police allege the 39-year-old Ballina woman attended the address of a former partner on Sunday morning.
They say that after arguing ‘for a short time’ the woman armed herself with a piece of wood and struck the victim several times.
She then attempted to grab a Bowie knife that was on a table. Both parties wrestled for control of the knife for a short time before the victim fled the scene and called police.
When police arrived and arrested the woman they say she had stabbed the knife several times into walls of the house.
The woman has been charged with aggravated break and enter, being armed with intent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and destroying property.
She will appear in Ballina Local Court in January
