Man accused of punching police after car crash wins bail Brian Wust, 37 leaves the Toowoomba Watchhouse on bail. Picture: The Courier-Mail Source: News Limited A MAN charged with assaulting police said he never threw a punch and the incident had been "blown out of proportion." Brian Wust, 37, was yesterday given bail on stringent conditions after facing Toowoomba Magistrates Court for allegedly assaulting and obstructing police. Speaking from his Toowoomba family home, after spending the weekend in jail, Mr Wust said he had heard about a crash on Saturday and visited the scene out of concern for his friend involved. "Next thing I know two firemen went underneath the car to have a look and I said they shouldn't be under there, it could fall," he said. When I went up to them that's when he (the police officer) started pushing me off the road ... the only time I got involved was when I tried to push them off me. Footage shot of the incident shows police apparently punch Mr Wust, but they have since alleged he threw the first punch. Mr Wust admitted he had been drinking, but said he did not hit out. "I was on the ground and he king hit me," he said. The father of one showed his injuries from the arrest, including a cut ear, bruising near his temple and cut leg. He said he was shocked to see police push away his wife who was holding heir four-month-old at the time, the incident captured video unbeknownst to the Toowoomba local. "It just got blown out of proportion," he said, adding he had not ruled out making a formal complaint. "At this stage I'm quite happy if they drop the charges," he said. I'm just glad I got out (of custody). Duty lawyer Devina De Leon represented Mr Wust in court applying for bail. Police prosecutor Senior Sergeant Tony Costa opposed bail on the grounds of Mr Wust being at risk of reoffending. Toowoomba Magistrate Damian Carroll said alcohol was clearly a catalyst for Mr Wust's actions and gave him bail on stringent no-drinking conditions including regular random breath tests. The matter was adjourned to March 17.
