DNA leads to charges in NSW glassing case

Police have used DNA testing to charge a man over a glassing incident in Sydney and say more arrests are likely.

DNA testing has been used to charge a man over a glassing in Sydney.

A 27-year-old man needed plastic surgery after being hit over the head several times with a beer bottle in Bondi last year.

Three men then kicked him when he fell to the ground.

A short time later police arrested two 20-year-old men and a 21-year-old man.

"Following ongoing investigations, police successfully matched DNA to one of the men," a spokesman for the force said on Friday.

A 20-year-old man was arrested on Thursday and charged with reckless wounding in company.

He is expected to face Waverley Local Court next month.

Further arrests are expected.
