Police have charged a man following a disturbance in Surfers Paradise this afternoon.
It will be alleged that around 10.30am, a 34-year-old man got into an argument about a ticket with staff of a transport company on Beach Road.
The argument was allegedly disruptive to the business, and so a security guard attempted to escort him from the premises.
The man allegedly became aggressive towards the security guard and spat at him. A physical altercation followed during which the man allegedly bit the security guard on the arm.
Police attended a short time later and took the man into custody.
A 42-year-old Upper Coomera man received medical treatment from a General Practitioner for a bite as well as additional bruising and contusions.
A 34-year-old Scrubby Creek man has been charged with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and public nuisance.
