A 62-YEAR-OLD Man is facing prison time after allegedly filling a lube dispenser with acid at a gay and bisexual nightclub in western Sydney.

Police will allege the man filled a dispenser in one of the rooms of Arrows Nightclub, Rydalmere, with hydrochloric acid in a twisted attack on Saturday night.

It is not the first time the venue had been targeted with this type of attack, with items in the room “alarmed” to warn of tampering, police said.

It is understood that security detained the man after an alarm was triggered, alerting staff that the dispenser had been tampered with.

No serious injuries have been reported to police and when contacted by The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, Arrows Nightclub refused to comment.

The man was charged with administering a poison with intent to injure or cause distress or pain, entering a building with intent, malicious damage and driving while suspended.

A spokesman for NSW Police said detectives were yet to establish a motive for the attack but there was “no indication of hate motivation to date.”

The man was granted conditional bail and is due to appear in the Parramatta Local Court on September 20.

The nightclub was the target of a malicious shooting in May 2013 when extremist Milad Bin Ahmad-Shah Al-Ahmadzai and another man tried to kill Michael Rooke.

Despite being riddled with bullets, Mr Rooke survived.

CCTV played to the court during Al-Ahmadzai’s trial showed Mr Rooke struggling to get away from the shooters, leaving a pool of blood behind him.
