A 28-year-old man has been charged with seriously assaulting and forcibly confining a 78-year-old man at his home over three days.
ACT Police allege the 28-year-old man arranged to stay with the 78-year-old man at his home in Bruce in early October, but between last Wednesday and Friday (15-17 October), he repeatedly assaulted the older man, including kicking and choking him.
Police say that at around 8pm on Friday night, the older man managed to leave the residence and seek medical attention.
The 28-year-old man, who had been arrested earlier that evening for unrelated offences, was charged at the ACT Watch House with three counts of intentionally inflict grievous bodily harm, forcible confinement and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
He was due to face the ACT Magistrates Court on the weekend.
