Man charged with DV after woman suffers broken jaw and leg wound
A man has been arrested in Maitland and charged with domestic violence offences after a woman suffered a broken jaw and a leg wound.
The arrest came as part of a four-day statewide operation targeting domestic and family violence, which resulted in 627 people being charged with more than 1300 offences.
Operation Amarok X ran from Wednesday 14 May to Saturday 17 May 2025, and involved officers from all police area commands and police districts across NSW.
Port Stephens-Hunter police began investigating after a 37-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted on May 13, resulting in a broken jaw and a wound to her leg.
Officers arrested a 44-year-old man at a Maitland home about 10.45am May 14.
He was charged with causing grievous bodily harm to the person with intent (DV), and wounding a person with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm (DV), and refused bail to appear at Newcastle Local Court on July 9.
Police also arrested a 29-year-old man at Edgeworth on May 14 for the alleged assault of a woman known to him at a home in Edgeworth in March 2025.
Two outstanding warrants were executed, and he was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm (DV). He was granted conditional bail to appear in court on May 31.
A 26-year-old man was arrested at Jesmond on May 15 after a 23-year-old woman was allegedly repeatedly assaulted by a man known to her on May 12.
He was charged with three counts of common assault (DV), two counts of knowingly contravene AVO (DV), armed with intent indictable offence - intimidation (DV), intimidation (DV) break and enter - malicious damage, malicious damage (DV) and two counts of persistent breach AVO (DV).
Police arrested a 24-year-old man at Gateshead on May 15 for the alleged breach of an enforceable ADVO.
He was charged with contravening an AVO (DV), an apprehended domestic violence order. He was granted conditional bail to appear in court on May 19.
Across the state, police laid 1316 charges and conducted 1276 bail compliance checks and 12,926 apprehended domestic violence order (ADVO) compliance checks with a total of 535 breaches identified.
Officers conducted 125 firearms prohibition order searches, with 100 firearms and 16 weapons seized.
Domestic and Family Violence Corporate Sponsor, Assistant Commissioner Peter Mckenna, said Amarok X had a focus on protecting young victims with officers from Youth Command attending schools and PCYCs to help educate and engage with young people.
"We know the psychological trauma caused by a child or young person, when they are exposed to domestic and family abuse, can have a lasting effect," Assistant Commissioner Mckenna said.
"No one - and especially no child - should have to experience violence and should be safe in their own home.
"There have been 160,000 reported incidents of domestic violence in the past 12 months, which is an average of about 438 per day. That is unacceptable and is not tolerated by police or our society.
"The nine previous Amarok operations have proven successful, with more than 5000 offenders arrested and more than 10,000 charges laid.
"We use intelligence to identified offenders who have an increased capability, intent and access to a victim. Our dedicated officers find, arrest and charge these offenders to prevent further incidents.
"We will continue to arrest and charge violent, repeat offenders who disregard their court orders," Assistant Commissioner Mckenna said.
