O’Keefe suffered shortness of breath and dizziness after the incident and was taken to hospital, before later being transferred to Surry Hills Police Station where he spent Friday night.

NSW police have charged him with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault, contravening an AVO, and resist officer in execution of duty.

O’Keefe said he was “caught by surprise” on Saturday morning when told of the charges against him.

“I spent a night in hospital, I spent a night in jail, despite an agreement with police that would not happen,” O’Keefe told Channel 10 on the weekend.

“There is a dispute about facts, a significant dispute about the facts (of what happened on Wednesday).”

He was granted bail in Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday after a night in the watch house, and will return to court this week.
