He is alleged to have hospitalised a Glen Innes police officer in Wentworth street by kicking her in the face to escape arrest.

Armidale Local Court granted him bail for the alleged offence on Saturday, imposing conditions that ban him even visitng Glen Innes except for meetings with his lawyer and hearing dates.

Glen Innes Inspector Matt Hemsworth said it was unacceptable for police to face violence on the job.

"I have to commend the actions of the police involved," he said.

"It's very unfortunate that officer has been injured, however she's very resilient and she'll be back on duty in no time at all."

Glen Innes police aggressively target domestic violence offenders and enforce domestic violence court orders during known periods of elevated family violence. According to Inspector Matt Hemsworth these patrols have helped halve the domestic violence assault rate since 2016.
