Woman charged after cruise ship glassing, NSW

A woman has been charged over an alleged glassing on a cruise ship, NSW Police say.

About 12.55am yesterday (Sunday 11 February 2018), a fight between several men took place on board the ship after an argument about a toilet line queue.

During the fight, a 37-year-old woman, who is the partner of one of the men, allegedly struck a 21-year-old man on the head with an empty wine bottle, causing a laceration.

Security separated the men and they were detained. The man with the injury was treated by medical personnel on board.

Yesterday afternoon, six men, including the injured man, and the woman, were removed from the ship at Bradley’s Head.

The men were subsequently released without charge pending further inquiries, while the 37-year-old woman, a Russian National, was conveyed to Newtown Police Station.

Marine Area Command investigators charged her with reckless wounding and affray.

The woman was granted conditional bail and will appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on Friday 9 March 2018.
