Reggae DJ allegedly punched and kicked outside Toorak club says he has ‘long road to recovery’

A popular DJ allegedly kicked and stomped on outside a Toorak nightclub is out of hospital but says his recovery is just beginning.

Darrien Fisher, 23, who performs under the name DJ Dazz, was allegedly assaulted on New Year's Eve outside a Toorak night club.

A popular reggae DJ who was allegedly kicked and stomped on outside a Toorak nightclub has regained consciousness and left hospital after he was critically injured from the ordeal.

Darrien Fisher, 23, who performs under the name DJ Dazz, performed at Jacksons Hotel on New Year’s Eve at a Sounds of Africa event before he was repeatedly punched and kicked outside the club.

“Slowly getting there but still got a long road to recovery,” DJ Dazz said.

Mr Fisher has left hospital and is recovering at the home of a relative in Alice Springs.

Four men, Michael Nous, 19, Mohamed Buram, Ayoub Abdulrahman, 19, and Cleveland Momia, 23, were charged with recklessly causing injury in circumstances of gross violence, affray and assault.

The quartet was allegedly leaning on the bonnet of Mr Fisher’s white Jeep Compass before the altercation unfolded, the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard.

Mr Fisher’s girlfriend Sharni Conroy-Green, 20, was also allegedly physically assaulted.

Darrien Fisher says he has a long recovery ahead.

DJ Dazz has been described as ‘a friendly guy‘.

The Endeavour Hills woman said of the fracas: “I am very traumatised. I am not mentally OK right now. I am very grateful they have been denied bail.”

Prosecutors said Mr Fisher asked the men “politely” remove themselves from his car, which prompted one to retaliate with a slur.

Mr Fisher was allegedly punched by Mr Momia, of Dandenong, before the remaining trio allegedly “continuously” kicked him across his head, groin and back.

His girlfriend jumped to the ground in a bid to protect him but was also allegedly injured while doing so.

Mr Fisher was left unconscious and covered in blood while the four co-accused fled the scene.

Police allege Mr Momia said to his co-accused “boys we need to dip” before leaving.

Detective Senior Constable Christos Pappas told the court CCTV from a nearby Woolworths captured “most of the incident” including the moment from when the alleged victim fell to the ground.

A colleague who performed alongside Darren Fisher described him as a “friendly guy”.

“He was outgoing, I never saw him in any trouble,” DJ colleague Dizzy Dee said.

“He is a friendly guy.”
