A 32-year-old man was treated in Armidale hospital for injuries to the back of his head after he was allegedly attacked by a woman with a pair of scissors at a home in Hargraves Street.

Police said the 32-year-old man was awoken in the early hours 

of Sunday before he was 

allegedly assaulted by a 25-year-old woman.

“He sustained a number of injuries to the back of his head, one of which required some stitches,” New England Inspector Chris McKinnon said.

“He was conveyed to Armidale hospital by a friend.”

The man was discharged shortly afterwards.

But police were alerted about his wounds.

Armidale officers then launched an investigation into the incident.

Police have been told a verbal argument between the pair turned physical.

But no arrests or charges have been laid in relation to Sunday’s alleged attack.

“Police attended and conducted a forensic examination of 

the scene,” Inspector McKinnon said.

“Enquiries are continuing,”
