Senior Sergeant Craig Wanstall said it would be alleged the woman was hit with the iron in a domestic argument on Bowers Street Scarborough, suffering a 2cm cut to her temple, about 8.25am.

Sgt Wanstall said it would be alleged the man used a tyre iron on another man, who suffered no injury, near a ute on Shearn Crescent in Doubleview.

The alleged attacker was remanded in custody to face aggravated robbery and wounding charges at Perth Magistrates Court on June 4.

IT is alleged a White Gum Valley man (46) hit a bouncer and stole his identity card at Oceans 6019 bar, Manning Street, on April 4.

The man was bailed to face charges of assault and theft at Perth Magistrates Court on June 12. Information from the public helped trace the man.
