A 17-year-old boy will face court following an alleged domestic violence-related assault in Bourke.

Police say they were called at around 8:50am on Tuesday 10 September to a home in Wilson Street after reports of a concern for welfare.

"Police have been told a man and boy who are known to each other – aged 40 and 17 – were allegedly involved in fight, with the man sustaining a laceration to his face," a police spokesperson said.

The man was taken to Bourke Hospital for treatment, and has since been released.

The 17-year-old was arrested and taken to Bourke Police Station, where he was charged with common assault and reckless wounding, both domestic violence-related.

The teenager was refused bail and appeared at a Children’s Court yesterday.
