Woman and four-year-old daughter 'abducted near Sydney train station'
Police were alerted to the assault of a 31-year-old woman in Heston Lane at Rockdale, in Sydney's south at about 6.30pm (AEST) yesterday.
The woman was allegedly assaulted by her 26-year-old former de facto before she was dragged along with her daughter into a car.
"Shortly before 1am (AEST) this morning police arrested a 26-year-old male and he's been charged with two counts of assault and breaching an apprehended violence order." Superintendent Helen Begg said.
"We also located a motor vehicle, but we did not find the mother and her daughter.
"Police at that time held grave fears for their safety."
A desperate search began for the pair, lasting for more than six hours until police were contacted by a friend of the missing mother. Mother and daughter were found safe and well just after 7am at a house at Rockdale.
Supt Begg said neither mother nor daughter had sustained significant injuries.
"As you can appreciate, the mother is very exhausted, and her daughter, and we will be interviewing her later," she said.
Investigations into the matter are continuing, while the man has been refused bail and is due to face Kogarah
Local Court today.
He and the mother recently ended their relationship and an apprehended violence order was still in place between the pair, Supt Begg said.
The Department of Community Services has been alerted to the situation, which Supt Begg described as
"concerning".
Asked about the young girl's condition, Supt Begg said she is getting some much-needed rest.
