NSW:Tamworth girl, man bashed by neighbours

SYDNEY, Feb 10 AAP - A girl has been bashed in the face and a man stabbed in the stomach
during a violent neighbourhood dispute in northern NSW.

An argument erupted between the neighbours on Susanne Street, Tamworth, about 7pm (AEDT)
on Wednesday.

A woman, 29, allegedly punched a 38-year-old man in the face before grabbing a 14-year-old
girl by the hair and punching her in the face.

It's alleged the man was then cut on the arm and stabbed in his abdomen and back during
a fight with another unknown man.

Police said the man and the girl, who suffered bruising and a swollen jaw, were taken
to hospital for treatment.

The woman has been charged with two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm
and was granted bail to appear in Tamworth Local Court on March 7.
