A 26-year-old man has been charged with one count of grievous bodily harm after a man sustained serious life-threatening injuries in an alleged assault at Mackay last night.

Around 11.30pm two men were involved in an altercation at a Victoria Street night club when one man allegedly punched the other man in the head, causing him to fall to the ground before continuing the assault.

A 28-year-old North Mackay man was transported to the Mackay Base Hospital with life-threatening head injuries.

A man from Andergrove is expected to appear in the Mackay Magistrates Court today.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact Crime Stoppers or Policelink.
