A man accused of a string of domestic violence offences – from a serious assault to using a phone to harass – has fronted a South Coast court.

Steven Beattie, 41, fronted Batemans Bay Local Court on Monday, charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm (DV), destroying or damaging property, and using a carriage service to harass, menace or offend.

The Eurobodalla-based man is yet to enter pleas.

Police will allege Beattie committed the assault against a person known to him earlier this year. The alleged assault led to severe injury, according to documents tendered in court.

It is also alleged Beattie used a phone to harass the alleged victim before damaging their belongings.
