Man's ear cut in Sydney pub glassing

A man has a badly cut ear after an alleged glassing at a pub in the inner Sydney suburb of Surry Hills.

Police were alerted and arrested a 42-year-old man at an address in Redfern.

He's been charged with recklessly inflict grievous bodily harm and was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on September 3.
