A 47-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly assaulting police and a child during a family violence incident in Belconnen on Sunday night.
At about 7pm the woman got into an argument with her son after drinking alcohol. She attempted to leave the residence by getting in a car but was stopped by the child, concerned about her intoxicated state.

Police arrived and attempted to arrest her, but she resisted, throwing a punch and kicking at one officer.
She has been charged with assaulting a frontline community service provider, attempting to resist a public official and aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
