Prosecutor Grant Kennedy told the court Doohan was asked to leave the Honeypot club due to his state of intoxication after he began to remove his clothes. Doohan refused to leave and, when a bouncer held his arms from behind, swung his head backwards - striking the bouncer in the mouth and causing minor injuries.
Magistrate Greg Cavanagh is reported to have told Doohan this, while he stood in court awaiting sentence.
Although pleading guilty, he claims he cannot remember the incident."You, Mr Doohan, are one of our Australian heroes, a legend, a shining example of success, courage and achievement - a man a lot of young men aspire to follow. You have besmirched your reputation in a way that saddens us all. We expect our heroes to be and remain flawless, and when they reveal themselves to have all the weaknesses and faults of mere mortals, it rather upsets us."
