Perth bouncers given bail over alleged ‘prolonged’ assault of patron

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.”
