Brisbane Broncos star forward David Fifita, the game’s so-called million dollar man, has been locked up in a Bali jail cell after allegations of an early morning brawl today at a troubled nightspot.

Fifita was visited this morning at Kuta police station, where he has been held since his arrest in the early hours of this morning, by teammate Payne Haas, who is understood to be holidaying in Bali with Fifita and was with him last night.

The alleged assault on a security guard occurred at the La Favela nightclub in Seminyak, the scene of another brawl last month involving Melbourne Storm’s Nelson Asofa-Solomona.

Asofa-Solomona was not charged but was banned by the NRL for three Test matches after video of the violent incident circulated on social media.

Fifita, who has made three State of Origin appearances for Queensland and is said to be worth up to $1 million a season, with up to 10 NRL clubs keen to sign him, has not yet been named as a suspect as he is yet to be interrogated by police.

Under Indonesian law, Fifita can be held in custody for 24 hours before being named as a suspect or freed.

The Broncos have immediately flown a club employee over to Indonesia to assist Fifita.

"The Brisbane Broncos have today been made aware that David Fifita has been detained by authorities in Bali after an alleged incident involving a security guard," a Broncos statement read.

"The club is working with representatives in Bali to provide David all the support he needs, and a Broncos official is travelling to Indonesia today."

Bali lawyer Muhammad Rifan from the firm Austrindo, which has recently represented a string of Australians locked up and on trial in Bali, has just turned up at Kuta police station.

Kuta police general crime unit chief, Putu Ika Prabawa, today said it was alleged that about 1.50am a security guard at La Favela was on duty in the back parking area of the club when he was hit in the face by a foreigner.

Putu said it was alleged that when the victim, Dani Irawan, was using his mobile phone he was suddenly hit in the face by a bule or foreigner who had been on a motorbike taxi, known as an ojek.

“The perpetrator jumped from the motorbike and tried to approach the victim, but was prevented by ojek driver,” a police chronology of the event says.

“The victim felt pain in his face and made a report at Kuta police station.

“Based on report, police went to the crime scene, asking witnesses and the victim. A bule (foreigner) that was allegedly the perpetrator was arrested.

“The perpetrator was taken to Kuta police station for further investigation.

"The alleged perpetrator could not be interrogated yet as he is still under the influence of alcohol.”

The Kuta police chief, Teuku Ricki Fadlianshah, told 7news.com.au that Fifita was arrested at the scene by police personnel on duty around the troubled nightspot.

“So the alleged perpetrator was nabbed straight away and taken to the police station,” Teuku said.

“Witnesses said that he hit La Favela’s security. An ojek driver tried to separate them and he tried to hit the security again.”

The investigation

Teuku said the reason for the alleged attack was still under investigation.

“It is still being investigated. Based on witnesses the perpetrator spontaneously hit the security without any reason.

“But we are still facing difficulties to interrogate him.”

Teuku said it was still being investigated as to whether there was an earlier problem inside La Favela which preceded the incident.

“We have 24 hours to name him as a suspect. We are still investigating the case. Once we get at least two pieces of evidence we will name him as a suspect,” Teuku said.

He said the evidence would include a witness statement and a medical report.

Teuku said any charges would depend on the medical report and whether the alleged victim had suffered minor or severe injuries.

'He punched once'

La Favela owner, Gonzalo Assiego, confirmed the incident in the early hours of this morning, expressing frustration at the increasing violence outside his club.

“The guy (allegedly) punched the security,” Gonzalo said, adding he believed it was one punch out of nowhere.

“I think he punched once, boom,” he said. “We have to report to the police now, you can imagine how many problems, it is crazy.”

“Bali is peaceful. I sell alcohol for people to enjoy, I don’t sell alcohol for people to fight.”

He said he believed the problems in his club’s area of Seminyak with Australians may be due to the police closure of Skygarden nightclub in Kuta.

Assiego said all he wants now is an apology from Fifita.

“The only thing I want now is him to apologise to the security and La Favela,” Gonzalo said.

He said the vast majority of Australians who come to La Favela cause no trouble at all and many good Australian tourists visited every evening.

“They eat, they enjoy and they go home,”Gonzalo said.

Lawyer Ali Sadikin, from Austrindo law firm, said at Kuta police station late today that Austrindo had been appointed to represent Fifita.

He said Fifita was in a “well condition” but he had not talked to him.

“He looks fine but he hasn’t talked to me,” Ali said.
