Another man has been charged after five police officers were injured following a brawl outside a hotel in Potts Point at the weekend.
Police were called to a hotel on Bayswater Road about 11.20pm on Saturday 19 October 2019, responding to reports of a disturbance after a man was removed from the premises.

He was charged with assault police (x3), hinder police (x3), affray, conceal a serious indictable offence, and carry on security without a licence.
He has been refused bail and will appear in Central Local Court tomorrow (Thursday 24 October 2019).
