A 29-year-old man has been charged over an alleged fight outside of a Bunbury bar that left another man on life-support.

It is alleged Ryan Risdon and a 43-year-old man became involved in an "altercation" outside of the Prince of Wales Hotel on Stephen Street around 10.30pm on Sunday.

Both men allegedly fell to the ground during the incident before being separated by onlookers.

The 43-year-old man suffered life-threatening head injuries and was rushed to hospital where he remains on life-support.

Mr Risdon has since been charged with grievous bodily harm and will appear in the Bunbury Magistrates Court today.

The investigation is ongoing and detectives would like to speak to anyone that witnessed the incident, or that saw the men prior to the incident.

It is believed a number or people were outside the venue at the time.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a report online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au.
