Four people, including a 27-year-old man and three 35-year-old men, were charged last month with an act intended to cause grievous bodily harm.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions says the accused persons allegedly aided and abetted each other in assaulting a 29-year-old man by repeatedly punching his face.

The ODPP says 25 people were charged with a total of 32 counts of non-sexual offences last month, and out of the 25 accused persons, one was a juvenile.

The 32 counts for non-sexual offences included aggravated burglary, attempted aggravated burglary, burglary, aggravated robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, assault causing actual bodily harm, acts with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, acts intended to cause grievous harm, grievous harm, serious assault, criminal intimidation, damaging property, breach of bail, breach of DVRO, and breach of suspended sentence.

The ODPP says there were 18 victims of the 32 counts of non-sexual offences.

In one incident, a 37-year-old man was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, criminal intimidation, breach of DVRO, and breach of his bail conditions.

The accused person allegedly assaulted his 33-year-old de facto partner and threatened her with a kitchen knife.

In another incident, a 24-year-old man was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm to his 24-year-old de facto partner.

A 49-year-old woman was charged with one count of grievous harm for allegedly assaulting her 50-year-old de facto partner.

The accused person is also charged with damaging property for allegedly damaging the windscreen of another person’s vehicle.

There was one incident where an 81-year-old man was charged with an act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, where he allegedly assaulted a 24-year-old person by stabbing him on the arm and back, causing him grievous bodily injuries.

In another incident, a 21-year-old man was charged with an act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm as the man allegedly punched and struck a 38-year-old man with a cane knife, causing him grievous bodily injuries.

They say cash and assorted items were stolen during the alleged aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary offences, which consisted of house, garage, shops, and day and night street muggings.

There was one incident where a 17-year-old boy was charged with attempted aggravated burglary, serious assault, and damaging property.
