Cape woman on attempted murder charge
A WOMAN has been charged with attempted murder after a domestic dispute in a Cape York Peninsula town.
Police have alleged an argument broke out between two women on Pikkuw St, Aurukun at 1pm which then escalated to a massive disturbance involving a number of people.
"It is further alleged that a 29-year-old woman entered a vehicle and drove it directly through the gates of a residence and towards a 23-year-old woman," a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said.
"The car struck the woman and a tree.
"The 23-year-old woman was not seriously injured as a result."
A 29-year-old Arukun woman was arrested and charged with attempted murder and dangerous operation of a vehicle and is due to appear in Arukun Magistrates Court tomorrow.
