Police say the 56-year-old victim was carrying a laptop on his driveway in Somersby when a man shot a loaded crossbow at him. When the bolt hit the man’s laptop, the attacker ran at the 56-year-old, striking him in the head with an axe.<\/p>\n
The pair began to struggle, before another man stepped in to help. The 56-year-old man was taken to hospital with a head wound. The 49-year-old man was arrested and police say they took a crossbow, knives and a piece of wire from him. He was charged with attempted murder and malicious wounding.<\/p>\n
