On police arrival, the alleged offender was arrested and conveyed to the ACT Watch House.

Pity there’s not an offence for ‘Intention to Assault in a Gutless Manner’

Let’s ask the AG to create a new offence of “being a dick”, with “degrees” of dickery corresponding with the severity of the crime.

Excellent work on the part of the victim, the club and the police, who have joined forces to produce a great result.
This miscreant, if guilty, will be publicly identified and hopefully banned from any venue that serves alcohol.

He has been identified publicly:
