Police arrested a man Sunday morning for his alleged use of force in a Whitman bar.

Learning of a large fight inside the Stone House Pub, 2341 S. Fourth St., at 12:17 a.m., authorities found the complainant inside the watering hole with blood emanating from his head, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He and witnesses told them he received the injury when another patron punched, kicked and struck his head with a bottle.

He received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for a laceration to the back of his dome, bruising and swelling to the right side of his face and scratches and abrasions to his face and body, Tolliver said. Using surveillance video from the location, the law enforcement agents busted 26-year-old Charles Dorner, of the 400 block of Cantrell Street, and charged him with assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime and related offenses. He posted his $2,500 bail and awaits a Jan. 6 preliminary hearing.
