When the woman told him to leave again, the man allegedly hit her in the face.
She contacted the police, who arrived at the scene. The 28-year-old was subsequently arrested.
He is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court today (22 October), charged with aggravated common assault, damaging property, making threats to kill and contravening a family violence order.
