Woman charged after allegedly assaulting security guard

A 36-year-old Farrer woman has been charged after she allegedly assaulted a security guard after she was denied entry to a nightclub in the City.

Between 1:30am and 2am this morning (Friday 8 August 2025), the woman was repeatedly denied entry to a licenced venue on Alinga Street.

At about 2am, the woman became aggressive and allegedly spat on a security guard.

A short time later, the woman returned to the venue and pushed a heater unit at the front entrance, with the heater allegedly landing on the security guard.

When the security guard attempted to restrain her, the woman allegedly forcefully bit him on the arm.

The woman was restrained by the security guard and police arrived a short time later. The woman was subsequently arrested.

She will face the ACT Magistrates Court today charged with common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and re-enter vicinity of premises.
