NSW: Man charged with assault

A man has been charged with assault during a brawl which led to the death of a Sydney
publican, SHANE MILES.

Mr MILES, who was 47, died of head injuries on December the 20th last year, two days
after being hit by a bar stool at his family's pub, the Bells Hotel in Woolloomooloo.

Police say a 22-year-old man from Kogarah, arrested earlier today, has been charged
with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He's due to appear in Waverley Local Court on March the 2nd.

Kings Cross Local Area Commander STEVE CULLEN says police expect to make more arrests soon.
