Manly Fight Night?

I guess Manly isn't quite as posh as I thought it was. While me and a colleague sipped wine and beer over a candlelit diner at a trendy local restaurant, the following was occuring right under our noses:

Police are appealing for witnesses after a young English tourist had part of his lip bitten off during a pub fight in Manly overnight.

"The 23-year-old became in involved in an altercation with a group of men at a hotel on The Corso about 12.50am.

Security were able to pull the fighters apart but the tourist required hospitalisation after part of his lower lip was bitten off.

He was taken to Manly Hospital but is expected to be transferred to Royal North Shore Hospital today for further treatment.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to contact Manly detectives on 9977 9499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000."

Well Manly just won't stand for that! It certainly must be a result of all the Sydney riff-raff coming over on the jetcat, back to the ferry days I say!! ;-)
