The lead singer of Sydney band The Vines, Craig Nicholls, is due to face court tomorrow charged with assault.

Police were called to a home in Sydney's south-east on Saturday afternoon after an alleged domestic violence incident.

A police spokeswoman says two officers confronted the 35-year-old, but he resisted arrest.

He has been charged with five offences including two counts of common assault, stalking and intimidation, resisting arrest and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
