A man who escaped custody by allegedly kicking and punching a police dog has tried the same thing during a second arrest - but this time, the dog did not let go.

NT Police said the 29-year-old man was located at a Darwin residence on January 14.

Police dog Kosta was deployed, but during the arrest the man allegedly punched and kicked the dog enough for him to escape its grip and flee.

Four days later, the man, whom police said had been "actively avoiding" them, was located in the northern Darwin suburb of Malak.

This time, police dog Pax was given the job.

The man allegedly tried the same method of escape, "but Pax didn't let go," a police spokesperson told the ABC; so much so, the man had to be taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for injuries to his leg and arm sustained during the arrest.

The man will appear in Darwin Magistrates Court on Friday, charged with six counts of conduct in contravention of a Domestic Violence Order, two counts of unlawful damage to property, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of escaping lawful custody and one count of resisting police in the execution of their duty.

He is also expected to face further charges for hindering a police dog in the execution of its duty.

The police dogs were "doing ok" and were "heavily praised", the police spokesperson said.
