A fight erupted just after midnight among a group of drunk rock fans who couldn't afford tickets to the show and instead decided to party on Townshend Road, outside the Irish Club.
During the fight, the 19-year-old broke a bottle against a fence and used it to stab the 39-year-old Thornlie man in the neck, severing the carotid artery, police said.
The older man was rushed to hospital by friends and later underwent life-saving surgery at Royal Perth Hospital.
Western suburbs detectives yesterday tracked down the younger man's van to a home in Two Rocks, where he was arrested.
He has been charged with one count of grievous bodily harm and is due to face Perth Magistrate's Court on March 23.
hold on - some guys fought outside a pub and the newspaper declares them rock fans who couldn't afford tickets? If they've been to the show, then fair enough, AC/DC may be somehow relevant to the article, but they weren't even there! Pricks...
