A man has been arrested after he allegedly seriously assaulted a 25-year-old man at The Albany bar and restaurant on Auckland's North Shore on Friday night.

Police were notified of the incident at 11.45pm that night and found the younger man seriously injured at the pub when they arrived.

"A 56-year-old man was arrested on Saturday night and charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm," a police spokeswoman said.
