Dutton Park detectives have charged a man following the assault of a girl during the break and enter of a home in South Brisbane yesterday.
Police will allege a 15-year-old girl disturbed a man inside a Dorchester Street address around 4.30pm.
It will be further alleged that a violent altercation took place between the two, before the girl managed to break free and flee to a neighbouring address.
The girl sustained a laceration to her mouth, bruising and abrasions to her neck and legs, and a bite wound on her hand.
A 20-year-old Manly West man has been charged with one count each of burglary, assault occasioning bodily harm, deprivation of liberty and torture.
He appeared briefly before a Magistrate this afternoon.
He is scheduled to reappear in the Wynnum Magistrates Court on Thursday.
