A prominent young Liberal has been charged after allegedly glassing a factional rival in the head after a Liberal students’ conference.

Benedict Kusay was treated in hospital for a wound to his head.

Australian Liberal Students Federation past president Xavier Boffa is now facing calls for suspension from the party as a result of the stoush, which is the latest ugly episode to plague the Liberals’ youth movement.

The incident took place at the Elephant British Pub in Adelaide around midnight on Friday, when Mr Boffa became involved in a heated argument with Melbourne University Liberal Club member Benedict Kusay.

As the dispute escalated, the 23-year-old allegedly threw a glass to Mr Kusay's head, resulting in Mr Kusay - a self-described “entrepreneur” who recently appeared in an article about the “Rich Kids of Instagram” - ending up in hospital overnight.
