Woman filmed in bikini rampage charged with assault
A woman has been charged after two rangers were allegedly assaulted on Queensland’s Bribie Island last weekend.
Police had released footage of the alleged attack earlier this week on a beach on the island to appeal for information on the incident from the public and help track down those involved.
The clip showed a bikini-clad woman in an altercation with a ranger on Saturday.
Queensland Police say it began after the rangers spotted a group of people climbing on a WWII relic on the island in the Moreton Bay region before approaching them.
Police allege the woman kicked, punched and spat at the rangers.
The footage showed the heavily-tattooed woman, wearing a red bikini top and black shorts, also remonstrating with bystanders.
The 24-year-old woman has been charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count each of serious assault of a public officer performing function by biting spitting etc, wilful damage and possessing dangerous drugs.
She is due to reappear in the Richlands Magistrates Court on November 20 and has been remanded into custody.
