A man has been charged following investigations into a violent incident at Harristown overnight.
Shortly after 12am a 20-year-old man was at a Drayton Road property when he observed a man trying to steal a Mitsubishi Triton utility in the backyard.
He confronted the man and attempted to stop him stealing the ute when it alleged they became involved in a physical altercation.
A short time later another man entered the yard where it will be alleged he kicked the 20-year-old to the right hand side of the face causing him to fall backwards.
One of the men then allegedly produced a knife and waved it towards the victim.
The men then fled in the stolen vehicle along Drayton Road, west into Buckland Street and south into Martin Place where the ute was later located damaged.
A 20-year-old from East Lismore has since been arrested and charged with one count each of armed robbery, wilful damage
