A man has been charged following an alleged glassing attack in Surfers Paradise.

Police were called to Cavill Avenue around 11.30pm on Saturday after reports that a man was threatening members of the public with a broken glass bottle.

A short time later, officers responded to reports that the same man had allegedly struck another man with a piece of glass following a verbal altercation.

The man fled the scene on foot, but was located a short time later and taken into custody.

His alleged victim, a 19-year-old Gilston man, was taken to the Gold Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

A 33-year-old Clayfield man has since been charged with one count of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm.

He is due to front Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.
