A police officer was injured early on Saturday morning in Alexandra while assisting bar staff with an ‘‘upset and abusive’’ man.
The officer sustained a broken rib and a sprained ankle, a police media spokeswoman said.
A 28-year-old Hastings man appeared in the Queenstown District Court on Saturday and was remanded to reappear in the Alexandra District Court later this month.
He was charged with assaulting a police officer, and disorderly behaviour.
Police were called after the man allegedly became agitated when door staff refused to let him enter the bar. A police media statement said the man was intoxicated, and became upset and abusive when denied entry.
