Police say a 28-year-old man was charged with 10 offences on Saturday morning, including six of common assault, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and damaging property.

It’s alleged the offences occurred between 10 October last year and June 24, 2015.

The pair split about three weeks ago, after living together for 18 months.

Kenny-Dowall was granted conditional bail but has been ordered to appear before Waverley Local Court on Thursday.
