HOME AND AWAY STAR ARRESTED AFTER AUSTRALIAN MANHUNT.

Former Home and Away star ORPHEUS PLEDGER has been arrested after a three-day police manhunt in AUSTRALIA.

30-year-old PLEDGER is facing four charges for allegedly assaulting a woman.

He had been granted bail on Monday to undergo a court-ordered medical assessment, on the strict condition that he return the following day but when he failed to show up in court, police appealed for public information and issued an arrest warrant.

VICTORIA Police said the actor was detained in MELBOURNE yesterday.

The actor has appeared on Australian television shows for over two decades.
