Bail for bikie charged over brawl
 
27apr06
 
A MEMBER of the Finks bikie gang has been granted conditional bail after being charged over a bloody brawl between rival gangs on the Gold Coast.
 
Magistrate Ray Rinaudo today ordered Nicholas John Forbes, 36, to reappear in Southport Magistrates Court on September 26 for the start of a three-day committal hearing.
Mr Forbes was yet to enter a plea after being charged with committing acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, wilful damage, and enter with intent to commit affray.
 
He is the third Finks member to surrender to police following a violent brawl between his gang and the Hells Angels at Royal Pines Resort on March 18.
 
A national search was launched for several men after four bikies and a bystander were either shot or stabbed during the brawl at a kickboxing tournament.

Accompanied by his solicitor Jason Jacobson, Mr Forbes surrendered to Gold Coast police yesterday.
 
Police will allege Mr Forbes punched Hells Angel member Christopher Wayne Hudson and held him while Shane Scott Bowden shot him.
 
Mr Bowden, 33, was taken into custody earlier this month and faces an attempted murder charge.
 
Mr Rinaudo granted bail to Mr Forbes on the condition he stay at his Hope Island address, regularly report to police, avoid contact with Mr Hudson and his family, and provide a $7500 surety.
