A man accused of a tomahawk attack and leading police in a pursuit in the NSW Riverina region is in hospital under police guard.
The rampage started in a Narrandera home about midday on Thursday when the 25-year-old man had a domestic dispute with his 28-year-old partner, police say.
Ten hours later the man returned to the home, allegedly hitting a 47-year-old man in the head with a tomahawk while also suffering a stab wound himself.
He then drove off to a Newel Highway service station to refuel, where he allegedly threatened a worker and demanded cash before fleeing.
A police chase was terminated and the man was later arrested at another Narrandera home at 1am on Friday.
The older man suffered head and facial injuries and is in a serious but stable condition at a Wagga Wagga hospital, while the 25-year-old is in Narrandera hospital.
