Two members of the Bandidos OMCG have been charged over the alleged assault of a man at a Newcastle brothel at the weekend.<\/p>\n
About 6am yesterday (Sunday 22 March 2015), two men entered a brothel on Hunter Street and approached staff members at the reception area.<\/p>\n
A short time later the two men allegedly assaulted the 61-year-old male owner and threatened him with a knife.<\/p>\n
One of the men also allegedly threatened a staff member when she tried to contact police, before assaulting a patron who attempted to intervene.<\/p>\n
Officers attached to Newcastle City Local Area Command were contacted and arrested two men, aged 25 and 28, on King Street.<\/p>\n
The owner sustained serious swelling and bruising to his face and a broken nose. He was taken to hospital but has since been released.<\/p>\n
A crime scene was established at the brothel and examined by specialist forensic officers.<\/p>\n
Both men were taken to Newcastle Police Station, where they were charged with assault with intent to rob while armed with an offensive weapon.<\/p>\n
They were refused bail and appeared before Newcastle Local Court today (Monday 23 March 2015), where they were remanded in custody.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old man will reappear in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday 20 May 2015, while the 28-year-old man is due before Toronto Local Court on Tuesday 21 April 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
