A senior Comanchero bikie has been charged over a brawl at the new Crown casino in Sydney.

Tarek Zahed walked out of the Downing Centre courthouse on Thursday afternoon for another matter when he learned he was heading straight back to the cells.

The sergeant-at-arms of the Comancheros Sydney chapter was arrested by Criminal Groups Squad detectives over a fight at a restaurant inside the Crown casino at Barangaroo.

Police allege Zahed got into a punch-up with the brother of another bikie figure on the night of January 16.

It is understood the assault was captured on the casino’s CCTV.

On Thursday, Zahed, 40, was due to face court for an unrelated matter.

He pleaded guilty to wilfully swearing a false affidavit and perverting the course of justice.

Zahed claimed his lawyer had incorrectly named his workplace in an affidavit, which was later filed in court.

As a result, the court was misled.

Dressed in a Balenciaga shirt, the designer brand devotee was sentenced to an unsupervised community corrections order.

But the freedom was short lived as detectives informed him outside the courtroom he was under arrest.

Zahed was charged with affray and entering the casino despite being excluded from the premises.

The case was adjourned to Central Local Court on January 27.
