Police said the men were known to each other.

The 71-year-old was able to leave the house and was treated by paramedics.

Police were later notified of the incident and started an investigation.

The younger man was arrested at a home in Macquarie Hill just after 5am today.

He was taken to Belmont Police Station and charged with attempting to strangle or suffocate someone with the intent to murder (DV).
