Former NSW bikie boss Mouhamed ‘Moudi’ Tajjour has backtracked on claims he would rejoin the Nomads in a bid to exact revenge after he was attacked at a Gold Coast Bunnings car park on the weekend.

Graphic footage showed the 38-year-old ex-Nomads bikie being beaten on Saturday afternoon.

Queensland Police have now charged a 31-year-old man in relation to the attack.

He was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm in company and possession of a dangerous drug and will appear before the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Police said they were called to a car park on Pappas Way, Nerang, where they found Tajjour with head injuries. He was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

Tajjour, who quit the Nomads years ago and has been attempting to rebrand himself as a social media star and influencer, initially addressed the attack on his TikTok account by saying he would return to the bikies.

“I’m out of retirement, I’m back in the f***ing club,” Tajjour said. “This was a wake-up for me, I can never leave this life.”

But in a subsequent post to his 15,000 TikTok followers, Tajjour retracted any intentions of rejoining the Nomads.

He also announced he would be taking a break from social media to “clear my head from this social media bubble”.

“I have not returned to the bikies. Was an angry moment and I spoke outs (sic) emotions. So [please] know I ain’t back in any crew,” Tajjour posted to TikTok on Tuesday morning.

In another video shared around the same time he wrote: “So sorry for all the let down regarding revenge wars. Only revenge will be is me having a crack with each of them one-on-one. That’s it period.”

Tajjour also issued a warning to other clubs and crime gangs to avoid engaging in any attacks which they would later falsely accuse him of initiating.

“Please all know I’ve left this gang life so I wanna make this clear to the gangs that are at war with them,” Tajjour said.

“Don’t bother trying to make moves on them and make out it’s me cause I am stating now my only intention is to meet them and have a fair go with each one.

“I’ve actually calmed down and anger is gone. I’m thinking now properly and wanna be clear so no one tries to use me as a way to get there (sic) revenge and try make it look like it’s me.”

It is believed Tajjour recently moved from Sydney to the Gold Coast to be closer to his son.

Tajjour rose to public prominence as the national president of bikie gang Nomads in 2018 before dramatically retiring from the group years later.

He was the youngest-ever recruit into the Nomads in the late 1990s after joining up when he was just 15 years old.

His brother, Sleiman, is the current president of the Nomads and his cousin is Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim.

He served more than four years in jail for the manslaughter of Robin Nassour and briefly married one of Salim Mehajer’s sisters.

He was prevented from seeing any of his bikie friends under a strict police crackdown on outlaw motorcycle gangs which at the time sent him spiralling into a “dark” and “lonely” place.

Tajjour sat down with The Daily Telegraph’s award-winning docu-series The War earlier this year where he spoke of how he no longer desired the gangster life.

“I was in jail a long time, bro. I haven’t got a bone left in me that desires a gangster life,” Tajjour

“When I had a target on my back I didn’t like it at all. I was very paranoid.

“The streets are very dangerous now. When I see on the news a man in his 20 being murdered I think f**k imagine his dad.

“I can’t put myself in their predicament but if my son was killed I don’t even know.

“How it is now it is very dangerous. It is not fun to be a gangster anymore.”

In 2020 Tajjour told The Daily Telegraph he was the happiest he had ever been following his departure from the Nomads and his brother gave him the “blessing” to burn his bikie colours and leave his past behind.

“He said, ‘Go, burn your colours and I’ll send word out and no one will approach you, burn your colours and you’re out,’,” Tajjour said.

“It sent shivers up my spine. It was a happy moment but I was also upset as I walked away from 20 years on the street.

“Now I’ve never been happier, it took me six weeks to adjust.”

The life change also led Tajjour to seek help, start taking medication to help him manage his temper and revisit his faith by praying five times a day.

“The medication is to help me keep calm, before I got angry very easily. Even with the virus the old me would’ve smashed up the cafe,” he said.

“I’ve always been a believer [in Islam] but I’ve never been outspoken, I always kept to myself, I was always caught between religion and living a gangster life.”
