A Sydney man allegedly had his fingertip gnawed off by a random gatecrasher at a wedding reception over the weekend, and the only consolation seems to be that he wasn’t the groom.
Witnesses claim a 42-year-old man wandered into the function at Campbelltown’s Court Tavern on Saturday and attempted to pinch unattended handbags from guests’ tables.
Police were called at around 9.30pm, and were able to arrest the alleged digit-chewer. He’s been charged with grievous bodily harm, and will face Campbelltown Local Court later today.
That wasn’t the only violent incident at the reception, either: police witnessed a fight between people understood to be guests outside of the venue, which resulted in the use of pepper spray on a number of individuals.
A 19-year-old was knocked unconscious as a part of that scuffle, and also received treatment at Liverpool Hospital.
