POLICE have charged a 20-year-old Lakes Entrance man over a king hit on Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The alleged offender, who has been charged with recklessly causing serious injury, intentionally causing serious injury and unlawful assault will appear in Bairnsdale Magistrates' Court in March.
In a statement released this morning, the Magpies confirmed Pendlebury - who was out with his brother Kris and friends - was leaving the Central Hotel in Lakes Entrance when he was hit from behind at approximately 1.30am.
The 21-year-old was knocked unconscious after his head hit the pavement and was taken to Bairnsdale hospital.
Tests cleared the classy midfielder of any major injuries but he suffered damage to his teeth and cuts to his face as a result of the incident.
Pendlebury was let out of hospital this afternoon and will return to Melbourne on Monday to see the club doctor.
