A 42-year-old man was arrested by NT Police late yesterday afternoon following a violent crime spree across the Darwin northern suburbs, where he allegedly attempted to run people over with a car, threw rocks at others, assaulted at least one person with a baseball bat, chased a female jogger while armed and reportedly “threatened” motorists with an umbrella while driving erratically down Bagot Road.
Police said the incident started around 4:30pm at the Winnellie shops on the Stuart Highway, where the man allegedly used a baseball bat to assault a man inside the shops, before attempting to run two people over in the car park with a white Suzuki Vitara and then throwing rocks at another person.
Should be undergoing a grog consumption assessment.
