Two brothers working as security at a Scarborough bar accused of assaulting a man – and stealing a phone off a woman who was filming it – have walked out of court today after being granted bail.
Enver Ibrahimovic, 37 and Nezir Ibrahimovic, 32, were arrested on Sunday after an alleged altercation at the Lookout Bar just after 8.15pm.
The brothers appeared in court over the alleged assault, prosecutors telling the magistrate the incident unfolded after a patron spilt water on the dance floor and was kicking it around and sliding around.
“The victim was asked to leave and then escorted out,” a police prosecutor told the magistrate.
An altercation then ensued with one of the brothers then allegedly “mounting” the victim and punching him to the head. He was allegedly additionally punched twice and kicked in the head.
“The assault was prolonged,” the prosecutor said.
A woman nearby allegedly filmed the incident on her iPhone. Nezir Ibrahimovic is then alleged to have taken the phone off her and “assaulted her in the process”, the court heard.
The alleged victim, 39, was later treated for injuries to his head and face at Joondalup Health Campus.
Nezir Ibrahimovic was charged with intent to harm, did an act causing bodily harm, wilfully destroy evidence, stealing and common assault.
Enver Ibrahimovic was charged with intent to harm and did an act causing bodily harm.
On Monday Premier Roger Cook was asked about the incident, calling it “unacceptable”.
“Any violence in that sort of situation, particularly when it comes to crowd control is unacceptable,” he said.
“The security people there are to keep everyone safe.
“Sometimes people have to leave, be encouraged to leave the premises and that’s part of the job, but obviously we don’t want that to escalate into violence.
“We regulate our security industry, and obviously the police will examine any sort of footage or evidence that’s put in front of them and take the appropriate course of action.”
The men were told there was a 20-year maximum sentence for the charges but after putting up surety and promising to abide by reporting conditions, they were released on bail.
The court heard the men worked as bouncers on the weekends in addition to full-time employment but as part of their bail conditions are not allowed to participate in the role.
When Nezir Ibrahimovic was told that his bail conditions also incorporated not going near the victims, he said, “I don’t even remember what they looked like.”
Both men are due back in court on May 26.
