FORMER bikie Toby Mitchell has faced a media pack for his brief appearance at court today.

Mitchell, who was charged after allegedly bashing a drunken Christmas party reveller who abused his lady friend, jostled with photographers as he made his way to and from the court.

TOBY MITCHELL BAILED ON AFFRAY CHARGES

Australian Associated Press photographer Ellen Smith copped a shove in the face as Mitchell was “bounced” by Channel 7 reporter Sharnelle Vella.

Ms Smith says she was shoved hard to one side by the former bikie as she scuffled for a photo in a media scrum but was not injured.

Mitchell’s matter was adjourned until next month so his lawyers can assess CCTV captured from the Southbank venue the fracas took place in.
