Police have pepper sprayed a man with an axe following a domestic assault in Tuross Head on Monday morning.
Officers were called to the residential address just after 6.30am on July 17 and found a 50-year-old man in an “agitated state holding an axe”.
“Police attempted to negotiate with the man for a period of time. He was eventually arrested after being subdued with capsicum spray,” police said.

He was refused bail and will appear in Bega Court on July 18.
