A 36-year-old man will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning following an alleged unprovoked assault last night.
About 9.00pm (Thursday, 2 May 2024), the 36-year-old man allegedly approached another man in an Akuna Street Hotel, City, and grabbed him by the neck.
The 36-year-old man then allegedly attempted to drag the man into his hotel room, before allegedly producing a knife and attempting to stab the man.
About this time, people nearby heard the man calling out for help, and assisted the man, who sustained minor injuries as a result of the alleged assault.
Police attended a short time later, and arrested the 36-year-old. He will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning charged with possessing offensive weapon with intent, assault with intent, and forcible confinement.
