A Dunedin bar manager was socked in the face when an allegedly drunk and drugged-up patron began to rain down blows on him.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old perpetrator was severely drug affected and agitated while in the Dunedin Social Club outdoor area in the Octagon last night at 7.45pm, Acting Senior Sergeant Iain Notman said.<\/p>\n
As a result, the bar manager asked the man to \u2018\u2018move on\u2019\u2019 and leave the premises.<\/p>\n
In response, the man attempted to rain a flurry of punches on the manager.<\/p>\n
Most missed, except one, which landed squarely on the manager\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
The incident was reported to police and officers attested the man a short time later after he stumbled over to the Dunedin Central Police Station.<\/p>\n
He was arrested and held in custody.<\/p>\n
The man would appear in Dunedin District Court today charged with assault and breaching his bail conditions.<\/p>\n
The manager was uninjured in the attack, Snr Sgt Notman said.<\/p>\n
