Accused bikie gang members charged after Gosnells pub bashing and hit-and-run leaves man seriously injured

Two accused bikies have allegedly violently bashed a man at a Gosnells pub, hitting him with a metal bar stool before mowing him down at speed with a car as he tried to escape. Police allege the altercation started inside the venue on Corfield Street at 9pm on March 29, when two men — aged 26 and 21 — became involved in the fracas with another man in his 30s. Police say the pair assaulted the victim and struck him with the bar stool. The 26-year-old man was allegedly wearing clothing displaying prohibited gang insignia at the time. After the alleged victim left the venue, the 26-year-old allegedly got behind the wheel of a white Jeep Grand Cherokee and drove and deliberately hit the victim as he walked on the footpath near Verna Street before speeding off. The impact threw the victim into nearby fencing. The 30-year-old made his way to a residence known to him, where emergency services were contacted. He was taken by St John WA to Fiona Stanley Hospital with serious injuries. Detectives have spent weeks undertaking a convert manhunt, executing search warrants across Perth and regional WA. On April 21, officers searched a home on Ridge Way in Jurien Bay, seizing the Jeep allegedly involved in the incident. The same day, a 21-year-old was arrested at a property in Maddington. A day later, police also arrested a 26-year-old at a home in Calista, where they found metal knuckle dusters. The 26-year-old from Kwinana faces seven charges including failing to stop after an incident causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm, intent to cause bodily harm and possessing a prohibited weapon. He is due to appear in the Armadale Magistrates Court on Thursday. The 21-year-old Maddington man has been charged with common assault and failing to obey an order and is scheduled to appear before the same court on May 8.
