Brothers charged over nightclub attack - Melissa Iaria March 2, 2010- AAP
Two brothers who surrendered themselves to police after a nationwide hunt have appeared in court charged over a machete attack that almost severed a nightclub bouncer's foot.
The arrest of Cong Thanh Nguyen, 20, of Richmond, and Tam Thanh Nguyen, 23, of Keilor Downs, brings to seven the number of people charged over the November 22 attack on bouncer Ahmad Chokr outside Melbourne's Bubble nightclub.
The Nguyen brothers handed themselves in to police on Tuesday morning after a nationwide hunt was launched in December to track them down and warrants were issued for their arrest.
They made a brief appearance in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday. They did not apply for bail.
Prosecutors told the court that security camera footage from inside the nightclub and DNA analysis would be used to support their case.
The brothers are each charged with single counts of intentionally causing serious injury, recklessly causing serious injury, affray, assault with a weapon and three counts of assault.
Magistrate Peter Reardon remanded the pair in custody to face the same court.
