A MAN has been charged over a suspicious fire that badly damaged a Kings Cross strip club just after a female employee was assaulted.
Firefighters and police were called to The Love Machine on Darlinghurst Road about 3.15am (AEST) on Friday to find the upstairs section of the club well alight.
Five people escaped from the building without injury and six others were evacuated from a nearby residential unit as a precaution.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze before it spread but two rooms on the third level were severely damaged, a Fire & Rescue NSW spokesman said.
Shortly after the fire security officers detained a man seen leaving the area.
Police will also allege a 67-year-old woman was choked, punched and kicked by a man before the fire started.
The 25-year-old from Gymea has been charged with destroying property by fire, robbery and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He has been refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
The woman was treated for bruising and lacerations but was not seriously injured.
Identified only as Ann, she told Macquarie Radio she was attacked by a patron yelling that he was going to set the place alight.
"I fought for my life for seven minutes," she said.
