A man and a woman are being treated in hospital after an alleged glassing at a Leichhardt hotel this morning.

Police have been told a man and a woman, both aged 25, were at the hotel on Parramatta Road about 1am when the woman was approached by a another man.

 The three became involved in an argument with the older man allegedly using a glass to hit the younger man in the face. The woman attempted to assist her friend and was cut on the arm as the glass shattered.

 The couple was treated at the scene by Paramedics before being taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for further treatment.

 The woman is likely to need stitches to her arm, while the man appears to have suffered only minor facial cuts.

 The alleged offender left the hotel and was last seen walking through the hotel car park towards Short Street, Leichhardt.

 Police were called to the scene and have taken a number of items for forensic examination, as well as speaking with witnesses. Detectives are at the hospital speaking to the victims.

 Police are keen to speak with a man they believe can assist with inquiries.

 He’s described as being of Caucasian appearance, 40 to 50 years old, 190cm tall, with a solid build, long black hair and a goatee. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a multi-coloured motif on the front and blue or black jeans.

 Anyone who witnessed the incident and hasn’t yet spoken to police, or who may know this man, is urged to contact Glebe Police or Crime Stoppers on 1 800 333 000.
