A second person has been arrested over the alleged involvement of the P&O cruise brawl off Sydney in early February.
A 40-year-old man has been charged over the violet fight that saw a Russian woman allegedly hit a reveller in the head with a wine bottle.
The brawl broke out aboard the P&O cruises’ Pacific Explorer between two groups of men who were celebrating a bucks party and one woman.

The 37-year-old Russian national was charged with reckless wounding and affray and is to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on March 9.
The men were initially released from the cruise ship without charge pending on further inquiries.

Five of the men who were kicked off the ship were later seen at a pub in Balmain, in Sydney’s inner-west
Witnesses said the boozy brawl, involving the woman’s husband, broke out in front of a bar called the Blue Room on the P&O Pacific explorer cruise in front of 100 people.

The Explorer cruise ship was forced to turn back to Sydney after the brawl. Those involved were detained in on-board cells during the return journey.
A P&O spokesman told Daily Mail Australia it called authorities early on Sunday morning to remove ‘a group of people from the ship as a result of their behaviour on board overnight’.
‘This is in line with our strict policy of zero tolerance of excessive behaviour that— affects the safety, comfort and enjoyment of other guests,’ he said.
He said the Pacific Explorer was on a three-night round trip cruise from Sydney when the brawl broke out.
