TV3 broadcaster Clint Brown will be off the air for at least two weeks while the network investigates the circumstances surrounding a Taupo assault that left him with a broken eye socket.
Kazbar owner Peter Paul said Brown turned up at his bar on Wednesday night with a group of friends but was denied entry as he was considered too drunk.
Mr Paul suggested two of his regular patrons take Brown across the road to get a burger.
After finishing the meal witnesses said Brown started swearing and abusing nearby Maori women.
Mr Paul saw Brown get punched to the ground and kicked and rushed across the road to break it up. He spoke to witnesses who said Brown was swearing a lot and was told to calm down before the attack.
Brown allegedly charged at a man, knocking his wife down in the process. The man knocked him to the ground.
"The guy that knocked him over warned him four or five times to tone it down and then when Clint decided to attack him he knocked his wife down in the process. If Clint Brown hadn't knocked his wife over I don't think the guy would have assaulted him."
Brown said "don't blame me I was Fxxxing pissed" - (joke hehe).
