NT man charged with attempted murder

Northern Territory police say a man who allegedly tried to kill a woman on New Year's Eve had a domestic violence order out against him.

Serious Crime Squad detectives on Friday charged a 40-year-old man with the attempted murder of a 35-year-old woman in a suburb on Darwin's fringes.

The woman was allegedly assaulted at an Acacia Hills home between 7pm (CST) on Tuesday and 8am the next day.

"The woman was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital on Wednesday morning and has since been released," Detective Senior Sergeant Karl Day said on Friday.

The man was arrested on Thursday and has been charged with deprivation of liberty, attempted murder, aggravated assault and engaging in conduct that contravenes a domestic violence order.

He has been remanded to appear in Darwin Magistrates Court on Monday.
