Man to face court after 300 involved in mass brawl post Origin

Around 300 people have been involved in a massive brawl in Cairns city early yesterday morning.

Multiple police crews were called to the corner of Lake and Shields Street just after 3am – following Queensland’s State of Origin win.

Officers managed to break up the mass fight just after 3am. So far only a 21-year-old Moorabool man has been charged with public nuisance and obstructing police. He is scheduled to face Cairns Magistrates Court later this month
