Two members of the Bandidos outlaw bikie gang have been charged over a brawl at a Brisbane restaurant.Police arrested the men in early morning raids at New Farm and Sunnybank on Friday.The arrests relate to a vicious brawl at a restaurant in the Mt Gravatt shopping centre on April 17.It's been reported an associate of a rival bikie gang was viciously bashed during the incident.Detectives from Queensland's anti-bikie taskforce said no formal assault complaint was lodged.But officers said the restaurant owner and members of the public were unwitting victims who should never have had to witness such violence.
We all deserve a sense of safety and the knowledge you can go about your day without becoming an unwitting victim to an incident involving OMCG members or their associates,' Detective Superintendent John Sheppard said.
The men, both 25, have been charged with affray and will face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.
