Two men have been charged after a man’s jaw and eye socket were broken in a violent incident outside a Wollongong nightclub earlier this month.

Raptor Squad officers have released CCTV images of several other men, whom police say can help them with their investigations into the incident.

A NSW Police spokesperson said the brawl took place on Saturday, 11 October, outside a venue on Cliff Road in North Wollongong.

“As a result of the brawl, one male was taken to Wollongong Hospital with a broken jaw and fractured eye socket,” the NSW Police spokesperson said.

“After it was identified that a number of the males involved were associated with the Bandido OMCG, the matter was referred to State Crime Command’s Raptor Squad who commenced investigations.

“Following extensive inquiries, about 7 am on Friday, 24 October 2025, strike force detectives executed four search warrants in the Wollongong and Lake Illawarra area.

“In Wollongong, detectives arrested a 30-year-old man.

“At an address in Thirroul, police arrested a 22-year-old man.

“Both men were taken to Wollongong Police Station, where they were charged with affray. They were granted conditional bail to appear in Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday, 9 December 2025.”

As inquiries continue, police have released CCTV images of other men who may be able to assist with inquiries. Anyone who knows or can identify these men is urged to come forward.

Anyone with information that may assist investigations into organised criminal activity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the online reporting form.
