Manly Sea Eagles player Dylan Walker has been charged with assaulting his fiancee at a home on the Northern Beaches on Thursday evening.
Just after 5pm, police were called to the home in Dee Why.
They found a 24-year-old woman with "minor cuts to her shoulder, leg and feet," NSW Police said in a statement. She was treated at the scene by paramedics.
Walker, 24, was arrested at the home and taken to Manly police station where he was charged with domestic-related common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Police also applied for an AVO to protect Walker's fiancee, Alexandra Ivkovic, a former Miss Universe Australia finalist who gave birth to the couple's son in July.
He was granted conditional bail and will appear in Manly Local Court next Tuesday. The Sea Eagles centre was driven away from Manly Police Station by coach Des Hasler after being granted bail.

Walker signed a four-year contract with Manly in late 2015 after winning the 2014 premiership with the Rabbitohs.
It followed a tumultuous period for the rising star that included an overdose on prescription drugs that nearly killed him and former teammate Aaron Gray.
