A woman is to appear in the Rotorua District Court after allegedly running over a man on Malfroy Rd on Saturday.

The incident, which is being described as a family harm matter, saw Malfroy Rd closed for two hours from 7pm while police carried out a scene examination.

The incident happened near a bridge on Malfroy Rd between Clyde St and Titoki St.

A police spokeswoman said a woman in her 30s had been charged with assaulting a person with a blunt instrument, namely a vehicle, and would appear in court on February 2.

The man allegedly struck with the vehicle, also aged in his 30s, was initially taken to hospital with serious injuries.

She said a further police family harm investigation was still ongoing alongside the court case.
