A 33-year-old man has been charged after allegedly assaulting his former partner and making repeated and harassing phone calls.
On Saturday morning (22 March 2025), the man arrived at his former partner’s residence in Kaleen. He then became aggressive and began yelling at the woman before allegedly kicking her to the ground.
