A wanted man has been extradited from Kingaroy to NSW to face a string of charges including counts linked to an alleged attempt to stab a police officer.
The man was arrested after a tip-off from NSW police.
Acting Senior Sergeant Brad Johannesen, from Kingaroy Police, said it appeared the 46-year-old had been living in Kingaroy under an alias for a number of months.
Warrants were issued for his arrest in NSW in January and February on charges of reckless wounding, two counts of going armed with intent to commit an indictable offence, two counts of affray, two counts of assaulting a police officer and threatening injury to a person.
