Mr Duncan told the NT News he was in the middle of breaking up a fight between two men on Smith St when Dippel allegedly kicked him in the head, fracturing his left eye socket.

Dippel did not enter a plea during the brief hearing on Monday in which judge Alan Woodcock adjourned the proceedings for a committal mention on September 2.

Mr Woodcock extended Dippel’s bail and she will be excused from appearing if represented.

Dippel is also facing separate charges of aggravated unlawful use of a motor vehicle, stealing, driving unlicensed and unregistered, driving without due care and failing to stop after a crash.
