A woman who was horrifically assaulted in an alleged domestic violence attack in Alice Springs has been found by police, three days after the incident.

NT Police say the woman was found at a residence in Sadadeen at 2pm on Friday and was now receiving medical treatment for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

The alleged offender, an 18-year-old man, was also found and arrested.

“This was a brutal and completely abhorrent domestic violence assault, and the offender will be charged later today,” Senior Sergeant Chay McArthur said.

“Police would like to thank members of the community for their assistance, and our Aboriginal Liaison Officers and investigative team for their tireless work.”

The initial search for the woman and the man began about 10.45am on Tuesday, after police received reports of blood on the pavement outside an office building on Bagot Street, The Gap.

Police allege the CCTV showed that at 4.45am a man allegedly stabbed the woman with an unknown object, before physically assaulting her multiple times and dragging her towards Tuncks Rd.
