NSW: Man charged with assault

SYDNEY, Feb 17 AAP - A man has been charged with assault during a brawl which led to
the death of a Sydney publican.

Shane Miles, 47, died on December 20 last year, two days after suffering head injuries
when he was hit by a bar stool thrown across the room of his family's pub, the Bells Hotel
in Woolloomooloo, during the brawl.

A 22-year-old Kogarah man who was arrested today, had now been been charged with assault
occasioning actual bodily harm, police said.

He will appear in Waverley Local Court on March 2.

Kings Cross Local Area Commander Steve Cullen told reporters earlier today that police
expected to make more arrests very soon.

"We are very close now to arresting the persons involved in this matter and this is
their absolute last opportunity to come forward," he said.
