A 53-year-old Heathridge man suffered serious head injuries when he fell out a window at a Cottesloe pub after allegedly being shoved by a South Australian tourist.

Perth City detectives have charged the South Australian, 28-year-old Matthew Angus Morran, with assault occasioning bodily harm over the incident.

Police will allege the 53-year-old told the younger man off after he flashed other revellers in the Ocean Beach Hotel front bar about 6.50pm last night.

The 28-year-old then shoved the older man in the chest so hard he stumbled backwards into his chair and fell out an open window, police alleged.

He fell more than a metre to the footpath, smacking his head and being knocked unconscious.

He was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, where he is in a stable condition.

Mr Morran allegedly fled after the incident and was arrested at a nearby hostel.

He will appear in the Perth Magistrates Court tomorrow.

Police said charges could be upgraded pending medical advice.

Model is first woman banned from pubs

Eva Grace Scolaro, 24 who will be sentenced in the Perth Magistrate's Court on April 14, has been issued with a prohibition order which restricts her from entering any bar or nightclub in the State for two years.

The Perth "model" convicted of glassing a woman in a Northbridge bar has become the first woman to be banned from entering a pub or club in WA.

Scolaro, 24, has been convicted of unlawful wounding over the attack on a 26-year-old woman at a Lake Street venue in March last year.

From The West Australian Newspaper "Police said that during an argument, Scolaro grabbed the woman by the back of her dress and poured a drink on to her head. Scolaro then spun the woman around and smashed a glass into her face, leaving the victim with a deep cut to her left cheek and cuts to her forehead that needed stitches."
