Domestic violence and Assault police investigation – Wadeye

Around 10pm, local police received reports that a 21-year-old male had threatened his 18-year-old female partner with a bow.

Police attended the location and as they were speaking with the victim, two arrows were allegedly fired in the direction of members and the 18-year-old.
