Former soapie heart-throb Dieter Brummer had a bloodied nose and his hands tied when he allegedly tried to bite and kick a group of bouncers in a scuffle on Logies night.
Brummer, 36, was outside a Logies after-party at Melbourne's Crown Casino on May 2 last year when he was restrained by up to five security guards.
Melbourne Magistrates Court heard Brummer tried to bite one of the guards and pushed and kicked another.
But his lawyer argued he was acting in self-defence.
Brummer, who shot to stardom on Home and Away and more recently starred in two Underbelly series, appeared in court on Friday facing nine charges.
