A 70-year-old man and, separately, a 30-year-old woman are facing court after allegedly choking their partners in two family violence incidents over the weekend.

Police say that at about 8.30pm on Saturday, the 70-year-old man allegedly choked his partner after a verbal argument at their home in Bruce.

He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm and choking, suffocating or strangling another person.

In a separate incident, about 2.30am on Sunday, police say they responded to a report of a 30-year-old woman choking her partner to unconsciousness following a verbal disagreement.

Police charged the woman with choking another person and rendering them unconscious.
