A woman was punched in the face when an argument between neighbours escalated in a Dunedin suburb.<\/p>\n

Police were called to an Andersons Bay address after reports that a man and woman were loudly arguing with one another, Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said.<\/p>\n

When police arrived shortly after at 8.30pm, the neighbours were still arguing.<\/p>\n

Officers quickly discovered the 41-year-old man had punched the 39-year-old woman in the face.<\/p>\n

She was treated at the scene by paramedics and the man was arrested and charged with common assault.<\/p>\n

He would appear in Dunedin District Court at a later date.<\/p>\n
