A 50-year-old man was airlifted to an out of region hospital for treatment of serious but non-life threatening injuries.

A 36-year-old woman was treated in hospital for minor injuries.

And a 38-year-old man was treated for minor injuries in hospital before being taken into custody and charged with two counts of aggravated assault, failure to comply with a probation order and failure to comply a with release order.
