A woman with a spear embedded in her head has been airlifted to hospital from a remote territory community, with police searching for her alleged attacker. Around midday on Sunday police received a report an 18-year-old woman had been stabbed in the head by a male known to her at Angurugu on the west coast of Groote Eylandt. "Police and local clinic staff attended and located the victim conscious, with the spear still embedded," police said in a statement. The woman was airlifted to Royal Darwin Hospital by a CareFlight aircraft in a serious but stable condition. Police have appealed to the public for information on the domestic violence incident, with the alleged offender still not located.

Police at the time confiscated many spears and other weapons held in the community. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) Lifeline 13 11 14 Men's Referral Service 1300 766 491
