A MAN has been arrested following an alleged glassing incident at Mount Morgan on Friday night.
Police were called to Crown St shortly after 7pm following a report a man had a glass smashed in his face.
The alleged offender fled the scene and a police search got underway.
A Queensland Police Service spokesman said a 35-year-old man was arrested at Coronation Dr, Mount Morgan, about 8.20pm on Friday.
He was taken into custody.
As of Sunday morning, no charges had been laid.
The 20-year-old victim, who sustained facial injuries, was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to Rockhampton Hospital.
A police spokesman said the incident unfolded after a man allegedly approached a Crown St residence and made noise to attract attention.
He said when the victim opened a door at the house he was allegedly pushed and struck once to the face with a glass, causing him to fall to the ground.
The alleged offender has then allegedly gone inside the house and caused damage to recording equipment before fleeing.
