A CAST member of the reality TV show The Shire has been charged following an alleged homophobic attack in Surry Hills on Thursday night that also involved two other cast members.

Daniel ''Folkesy'' Folkes, 24, was arrested shortly before midnight after allegedly urinating on a man while the two other cast members, aged 27 and 28, abused him with homophobic insults.

Charged ... Daniel Folkes.

The three men were out celebrating a birthday when they began attacking a man who was sitting alone on steps near the corner of Riley Street and Goulbourn Street, police say.

''The trio fled but were located a short time later by police on the corner of Oxford Street and Riley Street,'' a police spokeswoman said. ''The three men were then issued a move-on notice. However two of them allegedly continued to argue with police and didn't comply.''
