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.

“There was loud noises and yelling … the level of noise where you realise something was wrong,” Ms Taylor said. “It was the first thing I saw, she was really shaken … her voice, her body, she was in a lot of shock and fear at that stage,” Ms Taylor said. O’Keefe later returned to the apartment but Ms Taylor walked him out of the complex and asked if he was all right.“He was flustered and he was angry … his hand gestures and his body language ,” she told the court.

O’Keefe’s defence barrister, Richard Pontello SC, asked Constable Major about a conversation where the former TV star said the complainant allegedly “inflicted the abrasion on herself”.
