I would inject some loctite super glue in there and clamp it dowm. Wait a couple days and see how it sets.

Like Wadde said clamp it firm, but not too tight. I like Locktite 420. I just fixed one just like that one that you're showing. After taking off the clamp I finished up with 5 minute two part epoxy, then sanded smooth.
