A man accused of hitting his wife before sexually assaulting his 12-year-old daughter at their Bankstown home will face court on Friday.

Police allege the 54-year-old man struck his wife a number of times during an argument just after midnight on Thursday.

She ran away from the house but the couple's children were left behind.

It is alleged the man threatened his children a number of times before sexually assaulting his daughter. The woman returned home and was allegedly assaulted again, police said.

Bankstown police were called to the house and arrested the man before charging him with 10 offences.

The charges included two counts of aggravated sexual assault, four counts of stalking /intimidation, two counts of common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray.

The man was issued with an interim apprehended violence order and was refused bail. He is due to appear before Bankstown Local Court on Friday.
