A MAN has been released from police custody after allegedly beating a woman and her partner with tyre iron and breaching an apprehended violence order.

Robert Andrew Mann was granted bail on Thursday where he faced five charges regarding a shocking incident that was caught on camera

The footage does not show the man’s face and it is understood Mr Mann denies any involvement.

The 30-year-old is accused of setting upon a woman in a Parramatta car park, 26, believed

to be his ex partner, before he was tasered by police.

Shocking footage broadcast by Channel 7 showed the woman being violently pulled for her car and running from her attacker who was armed with a steel rod.

The man in the video then appears to then attack the person remaining in the car, before returning his attention to the woman.

In the video, the man can be heard shouting “thought you got away from me, didn’t you?” as he stands over the woman. A horrified witness told Seven News she was worried the man inside the car had been killed.

The woman and her partner who had been in the car with her, were treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital.

Police allege that when officers later contacted Mr Mann, they were verbally threatened and had to use a taser.

Police said the man was arrested and charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, destroying property, being armed with intent and driving while suspended over the sickening attack.

According to Nine News he was also charged with breaching an AVO.

Despite the serious charges, police held that he should not be detained ahead his next court appearance next week.

He has been granted “strict conditional bail” and is scheduled to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Tuesday 27 June.
