A Baralaba pub Christmas party fight claimed its second victim this week, with another man charged over his involvement.
Andrew Douglas Lane, 34, on Wednesday pleaded guilty in Biloela Magistrates Court to one count of public nuisance.
On December 1, 2020, Lane attended a work Christmas party at the Baralaba Hotel where he consumed alcohol throughout the night.
As the night went on play fighting and tomfoolery broke out between Lane and another man and the pair moved the action onto the street.
A real fight ensued and in the midst of the action Lane delivered three blows to the head of his opponent, which caused the man to bleed from the head and mouth.
