WA bikies charged over nightclub brawl

 

Six people associated with the Rebels outlaw motorcycle gang have been charged over a nightclub brawl in Perth's south. Police say a 22-year-old woman was with her two brothers and other family members in Rockingham on December 17 last year when she was punched in the face. Both brothers went to her aid and were punched and kicked by the offender and his friends. The woman suffered a perforated ear drum and bruising to her body. Her 34-year-old brother suffered a fractured rib, punctured lung and a dislocated jaw. Her other brother, 21, received bruising to his body. Police say a short time later the same offender punched and kicked another woman. It is not known what injuries she received and police want to speak to her. Police say the six offenders were patched members, nominees or associates of the Rebels bikie gang. A 29-year-old man has been charged with two counts of acts or omissions causing bodily harm or danger and one count of assault occasioning bodily harm. A 25-year-old woman has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, carrying an article to cause fear and failing to comply with orders. Four other men - aged 36, 25, 19 and 25 - were charged with acts or omissions causing bodily harm or danger. All six will appear in the Rockingham Magistrates Court on March 8.
