Neighbours' row escalates into assault

A quarrel between the occupants of two units has escalated into an assault with a Queensland man being arrested.

It's believed the residents of the units in Kallangur, in the Moreton Bay region, were arguing on Saturday evening when the occupant of another unit intervened.

He was then verbally abused by one of the combatants and struck on the head with a cricket bat by a second man.

The victim then tried to flee back into his unit but the man allegedly kicked in his door and struck him again with the bat.

Police arrested a 47-year-old man at the building and he is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday charged with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and enter dwelling with intent.
