A man and woman have been arrested after a man died in a driveway following an alleged assault on the New South Wales North Coast.
Emergency services were called to a home Tweed Heads about 2am on Saturday after multiple triple-0 calls about a man who had allegedly been assaulted.
Police allege the 34-year-old man was seriously injured at a home at The Hermitage by a man known to him before making his way to another location.

Paramedics treated the man after he was found on a driveway in Seaview Cres, however, he could not be revived and died at the scene.
A short time later, police arrested a 31-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman at a home in Tweed Heads.
Detective Senior Constable Gary Sheehan said all three people were known to each other.

“It’s a serious matter and someone has lost their life, we will be looking at all lines of inquiry,” he told reporters on Saturday.
Sheehan said the man had sustained “very serious injuries”.
He confirmed a large metal pole recovered from the scene had been taken by forensic crews.
Sheehan said the 29-year-old woman has since been charged with hindering a police investigation, however, the 31-year-old man is continuing to assist police with their investigation.

Blood and alcohol test have also been carried out, Sheehan said.
Tweed local Sapodia Lindley told 7NEWS she woke up to yelling and screaming coming from the street, which continued for about 20 minutes.
“It sounded like a fight,” she said.
“It’s a little bit surreal, it’s usually a quiet street.”
Crime scenes have been established at both locations and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident has commenced, police said.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
