A concerned neighbour captured on camera the moment violent OneFour rapper Dahcell ‘Celly’ Ramos swung a weapon at another man during a western Sydney house party.
The footage, tendered to Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court this week and exclusively obtained by The Daily Telegraph, helped bolster the state’s prosecution of the controversial star on a charge of using an offensive weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence.
Ramos was on parole for unrelated offences when he became involved in the armed confrontation at a western Sydney house party in March 2024.
The footage, shot through the window of a house across the road, shows multiple young men standing out the front of the home, between parked cars.
A man with a beard and wearing a black T-shirt is seen to hold his arms out to the side while moving towards a man wearing a blue shirt, who backs up slightly before he is seen to begin bouncing on the balls of his feet.
The footage then shows Ramos, dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and black shorts and wearing white trainers, approach the man from the left of the screen while holding what the court heard was a “sharp metal object” in his right hand.
He is seen to move the weapon from his hip, up above his head, then bring it down in a swinging motion as he lunges towards the man in the blue shirt, who is forced to take three large steps backwards to avoid being hit.
Ramos’ distinctive ponytail can be seen swishing behind him as he moves.
The neighbour then points the camera away from the window and the footage ends moments later.
No one was injured in the incident, the court heard.
The video was subsequently provided to investigating officers and served on Ramos’ legal team before being aired in court by prosecutors during his sentencing hearing.
Ramos was this week spared jail time over the incident and instead handed an 18-month intensive correction order to be served in the community.
However, the 26-year-old, who has been in custody since his arrest, will remain behind bars for now, serving the balance of his parole.
The Telegraph revealed earlier this week that Ramos will front the NSW State Parole Authority in April in a bid to have that parole reinstated.
If successful, the move would pave the way for him to rejoin OneFour alongside band members Jerome ‘J Emz’ Misa, Spencer ‘Spenny’ Magalogo and Sales ‘Lekks’ Su’a.
