About 2pm, a woman attended a supermarket on Burton Street, Vincentia, and was asked to follow new social distancing procedures while shopping due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The woman, aged 35, allegedly became verbally abusive to one staff member before being denied entry into the store by a second staff member.
Refused entry, the 35-year-old allegedly became aggressive and when asked to leave by the staff member, a 49-year-old woman, she allegedly spat in her face.
A physical struggle followed, with the 35-year-old allegedly pulling the 49-year-old woman's hair, gouging her eyes and causing jewellery to be damaged, before she left the scene.
Both women suffered minor injuries.
Officers attached to South Coast Police District were alerted to the incident.
Following inquiries, police attended a home on Walmer Ave, Sanctuary Point, and arrested a 35-year-old woman.
She was issued a Future Court Attendance Notice to appear at Nowra Local Court on Monday, June 15 for the offences of common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and destroy or damage property.
