Three men have been charged after a 25-year-old man was allegedly assaulted at a home south-east of Leeton.

Police launched an investigation after being called to a home on Carbone Street, Corbie Hill, about 6 km south-east of Leeton on Thursday (27 August).

Police allege three men assaulted the 25-year-old man before leaving the property.

The man suffered serious head injuries and was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to Griffith Hospital.

He has since been discharged.

Police inquiries led to the arrest of a 25-year-old man at a home on Willow Street, Leeton, at about 3:30 pm on Friday (28 August).

He was taken to Griffith Police Station and charged with intimidating or stalking a person with the intention of causing fear of physical harm, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, demanding property while in the company of menaces with the intention of stealing, and entering enclosed land without a lawful excuse.

He was refused bail and appeared before Bail Division Local Court 5 on Saturday (29 August), where he was again refused bail.

He is due to appear before Griffith Local Court on 16 September.
