A 25-year-old man has been denied bail after he allegedly assaulted his partner while she held a five-month-old baby and burnt her with a piece of meat.
The man appeared in the Cairns Magistrates' Court in Australia's Northern Terrotory, after he was arrested on Wednesday night following an incident at a Digger St residence.
He arrived at Cairns Base Hospital as his injured partner was talking with police and a footchase ensued after which he allegedly spat at officers.
It is alleged he tried to strangle the 26-year-old woman with kitchen tongs and burnt her with a piece of meat, resulting in injuries including bruising, cracked teeth and a small stab wound. Magistrate Anthony Gett refused bail because he said there was a risk the man would commit further offences and the matter was adjourned to July 3.
