An Aldinga Beach man will face court after a crossbow was fired during an incident at Aldinga Beach.
Police will allege that between 2.45pm and 3.30pm on Thursday 17 October, there was an altercation at Aldinga Beach between the suspect and the occupants of a silver-coloured Mazda 3 hatchback.
Police will further allege the man fired an arrow from a high-powered crossbow that struck and penetrated the door of a nearby home not involved in the incident. Fortunately, occupants in the home were not injured.
Police do not believe the incident is random and wish to speak to the occupants of the Mazda 3.
The Aldinga Beach man was charged on Friday 18 October with acts likely to cause harm and being in possession of a crossbow and machete which are prohibited weapons. He was granted bail by a magistrate and will appear in court at a later date.
