Earlier, police and paramedics were called to a Thomson flat on Sunday about 4pm after a 68-year-old woman was found inside with severe injuries.

The 57-year-old was arrested at the scene on Godfrey St.

It’s believed the victim suffered life-threatening head injuries at the time.

She remains in the Geelong hospital in a stable condition.

Forensics and specialist police were back at the scene on Monday afternoon and were observed scouring areas of the commission housing complex.

A neighbour said a lady inside one of the units “seemed to go off at night”.

“One of them does have some strange characters,” he said.

“It doesn’t surprise me that something has happened.”
