Brutal video shows bikie beating 'child sex offender' in shower stall
WARNING - GRAPHIC FOOTAGE: A Rebels bikie has posted a video of himself brutally beating an inmate understood to be a convicted paedophile in the shower of a South Australian police watch house.
Bradley Daniele, 26, who is well-known to law enforcement, posted the footage to Facebook on Monday, showing him punching a naked man at the Adelaide facility in April. The victim has been identified by the Adelaide Advertiser as Hamzeh Bahrami, 33.
Daniele can be seen hiding in a shower stall before confronting the naked man with a flurry of fists as he cowers in the corner.
Within seconds, a police officer sticks his arm through the bathroom door and sprays Daniele with capsicum spray.
The 26-year-old is seen holding his eyes as the naked man leans against the shower wall with his hands pressed against his face.
It is not known how Daniele obtained the footage.
Daniele defended his actions on social media, saying he is a “good person” who has “made some mistakes” in life.
“One thing I will not stand for is kids being abused physically or mentally and I will do this over and over again if I had the chance,” he wrote.
“I think it’s time people stop judging bikies and people start worrying about the real issues in life like getting the pedos off the street.”
The video drew hundreds of comments praising the 26-year-old’s actions within hours.
Daniele has been charged with assault over the attack and will face court in November, the publication said.
“A man was reported for an assault that took place at the Adelaide City watch house in April,” a South Australia Police spokesperson told Yahoo News Australia.
“A 26-year-old man from Mawson Lakes was reported after allegedly assaulting another prisoner.
“The victim didn’t require medical treatment.
“As the matter is now before the court, no further information can be provided at this time.”
A South Australian courts spokesperson told Yahoo News Australia Bahrami isn’t facing any additional charges.
He will face court for sentencing submissions in December.
