Two men left injured in assault
NT Police are appealing for witnesses to an assault in which two men in Alice Springs were left with serious injuries.
Around 10.30pm on September 18 two men, aged 45 and 47 years old, were travelling inbound on Gap Road in a silver Nissan Navara.
They were near the 24-hour store when it is alleged there was a near miss with another vehicle, a black Holden Commodore, and a verbal altercation commenced between the drivers.
The driver of the commodore conducted a u-turn and it is alleged he armed himself with a large, blunt metal object.
He then engaged the occupants of the navara, assaulting both and smashing the front passenger window of the vehicle.
The offender fled the scene on foot and a passenger in the commodore used the vehicle to flee the scene upon police arrival.
Patrols of the area were unable to locate the fleeing pair and the victims were transported to Alice Springs Hospital.
