Local police have issued a public thank you to community members in Mullum, who they say helped lead officers to the arrest of an allegedly violent man in the town centre last week.
Police allege multiple victims and witnesses were involved in their arrest of a 38-year-old Mullumbimby man on 28 September.
He was charged for six offences, namely affray; assault occasioning actual bodily harm; two counts of stalking and or intimidation; being armed with intent to commit an indictable offence; and drink driving with a prescribed concentration of alcohol.
Police said community members contacted triple zero before flagging down responding officers.
The accused man had bail refused and was due to appear at the Byron Bay Local Court on 17 November.
