The Northern Territory Police Force are calling for information following an aggravated assault and pursuit in Alice Springs on Friday evening.
At around 7:30pm, police received reports of two females fighting at a residence in Braitling. Upon arrival, officers located a 39-year-old female who had been struck on the back of the head with a rock.
The victim was transported by St John Ambulance to Alice Springs Hospital for treatment.
The alleged offender, a 23-year-old female, fled the scene prior to police arrival in a silver Ford Territory accompanied by a 19-year-old male.
A short time later, police sighted the vehicle and attempted to apprehend it, but the offender failed to stop. A coordinated response between Operation Ludlow members and the Drone Unit led to the vehicle being located driving south on the Stuart Highway, where a tyre deflation device was successfully deployed after a short pursuit.
The 19-year-old male was arrested and charged with multiple traffic offences.
The 23-year-old female offender was not located at the scene.
Investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 131 444 or make an anonymous report to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Please quote reference number NTP2500006518.
