It’s alleged the man followed the woman in a vehicle along the Cape Tribulation Road toward the hotel before verbally abusing her and punching her. The pair were not known to each other. 

Witnesses intervened before the woman contacted police and sought medical treatment for a swollen eye, bruising and scratches.

The man is scheduled to appear in the Cairns Magistrates Court on 14 February.
