Man Charged After Alleged Threats Against Woman in Griffith - Griffith, NSW
Smart summary
A 48-year-old man has been charged after police alleged he followed a woman and made threatening comments in Griffith, in south-western New South Wales.
A 48-year-old man has been charged following an alleged intimidation incident involving a 60-year-old woman in Griffith, New South Wales. Police said officers responded to reports of threatening behaviour in the town on Wednesday afternoon, 28 October 2026.
According to information released on 29 October, officers from the Murrumbidgee Police District were called to Banna Avenue at about 2pm after receiving reports that a man was threatening a woman. Police attended the area and began investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Police were reportedly told that the man had allegedly been following the woman and making threatening comments. The allegations prompted officers to investigate and locate the man in the surrounding area.
A short time later, police arrested a 48-year-old man nearby. Authorities allege that he resisted officers during the arrest.
Following his arrest, the man was taken to Griffith Police Station for further investigation and charging procedures. Police subsequently charged him with two offences: hindering or resisting a police officer in the execution of duty, and stalking or intimidating with the intention of causing fear of physical harm.
The charges relate to separate alleged aspects of the incident, including the reported behaviour towards the woman and the alleged resistance during the arrest. The allegations have not been established in court, and the accused is entitled to the presumption of innocence while the legal proceedings continue.
Police refused bail, and the man was scheduled to appear before Bail Division Court 5 on Thursday, 29 October 2026. The court process will determine the next steps in the matter, including any further hearings and the conditions under which the case proceeds.
The incident highlights how police may investigate reports of intimidation when alleged threatening conduct is reported in a public area. Stalking and intimidation offences can involve repeated following, unwanted approaches or behaviour intended to make another person fear physical harm. Whether conduct meets the legal requirements of an offence depends on the evidence and the circumstances of the particular case.
The police response also illustrates the role of frontline officers in responding to public reports, gathering information and taking action where they believe an offence may have occurred. Any alleged resistance during an arrest is considered separately from the original complaint and must also be assessed through the legal process.
No further details about the relationship between the man and the woman, any alleged prior incidents, or additional evidence were provided in the published report. Police had not announced a final court outcome at the time of publication.
The case remains a legal matter, with the allegations to be dealt with through the New South Wales court system.
