Beau Grant Oxman, 33, charged with attacking teen staff in Red Rooster, Booval, break-in

An Ipswich man has faced court for an alleged attack on a teen Red Rooster staff member during a terrifying robbery last week.

An Ipswich man has been accused of attacking a teenage staff member while another ran to get help during a terrifying fast food chain robbery last week.

A court has heard the terrifying details of how two teenage fast food employees were confronted with a violent intruder at a Booval restaurant last week.

Raceview’s Beau Grant Oxman, 33, applied for bail in Ipswich Magistrates Court on July 5 after being charged in connection with the incident.

He was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, serious assault of a person over 60, robbery with actual violence, wilful damage, enter premises with intent, driving without a licence (repeat offender) and in an unregistered vehicle.

It was alleged Mr Oxman broke into Red Rooster at Booval at 7.42am on June 30.

Magistrate Kathleen Payne said an 18-year-old woman and 19-year-old man who both worked at the fast food outlet heard noises and investigated.

She said they discovered Mr Oxman “rummaging through the store”.

It was alleged he pulled out tills, looked through drawers and took employees’ property including a phone and iPad.

Ms Payne said the male employee confronted Mr Oxman, who allegedly shoved him and repeatedly told him to “f--k off”.

Mr Oxman punched the 19-year-old multiple times in the face and “brandished” metal keys, swinging them at the teen’s face, she said.

The teen suffering a split lip during a struggle before he managed to drag Mr Oxman outside.

Ms Payne said the 18-year-old ran to nearby Booval Fair to alert security staff.

Mr Oxman allegedly said to the 19-year-old “I’ll find you and kill you” before a security guard arrived, taking another swing at him and pushing the guard into an industrial bin.

He also yelled “I have a gun” and tried to reach for his backpack and knocked the security guard’s glasses off, the court heard.

Mr Oxman’s lawyer said his client’s version of events was different to the alleged facts.

He said it was unlikely Mr Oxman would get a hearing date this year, estimating it would be about 12 months before he could be expected to face trial.

But Ms Payne said the case against him was strong, including CCTV footage.

She noted Mr Oxman had a seven-page criminal history, including convictions for entering a dwelling with intent and burglary.

She refused bail, saying there was an unacceptable risk he might commit further offences.

Mr Oxman was remanded in custody for mention on July 21.
