A man is due to face court today accused of threatening a worker and assaulting a patron at a Newcastle hotel.
Police were called to the Wickham Hotel on Maitland Road just after 7.30pm last night.
It's alleged the 47-year-old threatened a female staff member who'd asked him to leave due to his level of intoxication.
Police say the man then punched a male patron before throwing a schooner glass towards him which smashed on the ground.
It's alleged he had a large amount of cash on him and a billiard ball wrapped in a sock when he was arrested.
He's been charged with intimidation, common assault, goods in custody suspected of being stolen and custody of an offensive implement in a public place and has been refused bail to appear in Newcastle Local Court today.
