Rebels bikie jailed for punching man on Darwin’s Mitchell St because he got in his “personal space”

The 22-year-old admitted punching his victim to the head during a night out at Wisdom Bar in November 2014.

Prosecutor Erin McAuley said Summerfield admitted the offence to police. “He said ‘I pushed him to the face with a clenched fist, he was in my personal space’,’’ she said.

Summerfield also pleaded guilty to several driving offences in Darwin Magistrates Court yesterday. He admitted riding a vehicle in a dangerous manner, damaging the surface of a road and driving with substances in his system.

He also pleaded guilty to five breaches of bail.

Defence lawyer Julia Ker said the punch was “very much towards the lower end of the scale” of seriousness.

Magistrate Elizabeth Morris sentenced Summerfield to three months’ jail for the aggravated assault. He received an additional seven days for the breaches of bail, a six-month driving disqualification and $950 in fines.
