A Sydney man has been arrested after allegedly detaining a woman, assaulting her, then dangling her over a balcony in a domestic violence attack.

Police say the 35-year-old woman, who knew the alleged offender, was held against her will at a unit in Burwood on Monday.

The woman was then allegedly attacked, before she was lifted over the balcony of the unit.

She was able to safely reach the balcony below and was helped down by nearby residents, escaping without injury.

Police on Wednesday morning executed a search warrant at the Burwood unit, arresting a 36-year-old man and seizing electronic devices.

The man was taken to Burwood Police Station where he is expected to be charged.
