A man will face court next month accused of throwing rocks at police after refusing to leave a Lake Macquarie hotel.
Police were called to the Gateshead Tavern on the Pacific Highway at about 1am on Saturday where the 26-year-old was reportedly acting in a disorderly manner and refusing to leave.
When officers arrived the man allegedly approached and started swearing and throwing rocks at them while encouraging bystanders to assault police.
He ran off and was arrested a short time later after a brief struggle.
He's been charged with several offences including resist or hinder police and affray and granted bail to face Belmont Local Court on July 29.
