A man is in hospital after his throat was allegedly slashed by a machete in Woonona on the weekend.
Police say the 28-year-old was arguing with a 34-year-old man on Campbell Street on Saturday when the incident occurred.
His wound is not considered life threatening but he will require surgery.
The older man was arrested and charged with reckless wounding.
It's alleged he'd been seen earlier dancing and swinging a machete above his head when it came into contact with the other man's neck.
