Embattled former television presented Andrew O’Keefe will return to court where he is fighting allegations he spat in the face of a woman before kicking her and leaving her with scratches all over her arms and chest.
The 51-year-old is facing the second part of his hearing in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court over charges of common assault, contravening an AVO, resisting a police officer and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
O’Keefe has already faced two days of hearing in February over the matters, which relate to an incident in September 2021 at a Sydney apartment.
He is due to return to court on Wednesday, where the defence case will begin.
Earlier this year, neighbour Nicole Taylor told the court that on the night of the alleged incident she could hear O’Keefe singing in the apartment below hers before it turned into a “scuffle”.
