FORMER AFL player Nathan Carroll has been charged with assaulting two men in Chapel St while drunk.
Carroll, who played 71 games in six seasons with Melbourne, was arrested on Saturday after the alleged early-morning attacks.
A dishevelled looking Carroll, who was not wearing shoes, faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday charged with five counts, including*! recklessly causing injury and being drunk.
Police allege the 33-year-old attacked two men within five minutes, chasing the second one before repeatedly kicking and punching him.
It is alleged Carroll approached the first victim about 7.40am and had a short conversation with him before king-hitting the man in the back of the head.
Police allege in court documents that five minutes later, Carroll challenged another man to a fight.
"(The victim) had headphones in, so took them out to hear the applicant say something along the lines of 'I bet I could smash you with one arm in my sling'," the police said in a remand summary.
Carroll then allegedly punched the man in the face up to five times. It is alleged the victim ran away but was chased by Carroll.
"(Carroll) has caught up with the victim ... where he has punched him to the face and ear. The victim had covered his face with his arms, and the applicant has continued trying to punch (the victim) with upper-cut punches, before kneeing the victim to the right side of the ribs," police alleged.
The victim later went to The Alfred hospital to have his injuries assessed.
Carroll told police he now lived in Bali and was in Melbourne recovering from a shoulder operation.
Police did not oppose Carroll's release on bail but he must surrender his passport and report to police three times a week.
Can we please extradite this tosser back to Bali and ban him from ever re-entering the country?
I wonder the locals think of the this type of Aussies in Bali?.....
Isn't there somewhere else we can send these people?, ahh that's right it's called Prison.
Enjoy your holiday Nathan, I hear the locals are particularly friendly!
He should really take a good hard look at himeslf. An old friend of mine who was a boxing coach used to say ' you would be surprised how little it takes to knock someone out.' And that goes for killing someone with a blow to the head ( David Hookes, a tragic example ).

I had a fight with that bouncer the week before. Total thug. David Hookes was my wake-up call, hardly been near a nightclub since.

Media reports of a 'scuffle' with police are inaccurate. There was a misunderstanding trying to re enter a venue but I was not in a scuffle
I've had a misunderstanding with the police before I didn't have to go to court. The oxygen thief needs to stop playing the victim card and take a good long look in the mirror.

Well that's cleared up then. You cannot always trust what the media reports.
