Man to face court on multiple charges

A 35-year-old man will face the ACT Magistrates Court today (Tuesday, 21 November 2017), following an incident in Dickson last night.

About 11.00pm, on Monday 20 November 2017, officers from City Police Station responded to reports of a disturbance in the Dickson shopping precinct.

It was reported the man tried to initiate a fight with two bystanders and then proceeded to get in his car and drive erratically, swerving his vehicle across the median strip and two lanes of traffic. He then mounted the kerb, driving at the bystanders.

The 35-year-old man was arrested and charged with two counts of use offensive weapon-dangerous to a person and common assault.
