The attack began after the accused and his girlfriend left a rave in a Woolloongabba industrial estate.
A man bashed his girlfriend’s head against a wall, before slashing a bystander across the back with a box cutter after he tried to intervene in the attack, a Brisbane court has heard.
It will be alleged he pushed her up against a concrete wall, smashing her head against the surface. He continued his attack by punching, biting and dragging her across the ground.Mr Simpson is accused of punching a 48-year-old male good Samaritan, knocking him to the ground and continuing to assault him while he was on the ground.
In court, prosecutor Serena Whitfield said the assault was “extremely serious” and “protracted”. Police have footage of the incident, courtesy of two witnesses in a nearby high-rise who filmed the alleged attack.The court heard Mr Simpson had worked in hospitality for five years until a year ago and, since then, he had been homeless or living a transient lifestyle.
“The concerning aspects are the sudden and extreme outburst of violence and using a box cutter to actually stab someone in the back following quite serious domestic violence,” he said.
