The defendants were later arrested at Casey’s bar on Queen Street.Both defendants said they were in the area when the incident took place but denied the allegations. Mr Tucker said he only got involved to help Mr Johnson, whom he described as disabled.Mr Smith told Magistrates’ Court he only watched the incident unfold, saying repeatedly: “I didn’t touch him.”Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner remanded both men into custody until February 23, when the matter is scheduled to return to court for mention.
