A Dunedin beer festival worker was left with severe concussion after being picked up and dumped on his head.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police responded to reports of a man working at one of the Dunedin Craft Beer Festival stands being assaulted about 6.50pm on Saturday.
A 20-year-old man attending the festival at Forsyth Barr Stadium allegedly ran towards the 19-year-old employee, picked him up
and dropped him on to his head.
The two men were not known to each other.
The employee was recovering at home, Snr Sgt Bond said.
The 20-year-old man was charged with assault and intent to injure.
On Friday, at 8.15pm outside the festival, a 26-year-old man approached a 30-year-old man and allegedly assaulted him.
The 26-year-old was charged with assault.
Both men will be in Dunedin District Court on Thursday.
