'Bad Brad' up for assault

Johannesburg - Brad Wood, former Big Brother housemate and leader of The Organisation Party (Top), is facing assault charges after he apparently threatened a man outside the Randburg magistrate's court.
Wood in turn laid a charge of assault against Vernon Eliasov, 21, at the Randburg police station. Eliasov apparently pushed Wood outside the court building.
Inspector Amanda Roestoff, police spokesperson, confirmed the charges and says no one has been arrested.
Wood was at the court to support a friend while Eliasov appeared on a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
This charge is linked to an incident outside a Sandton nightclub on Saturday evening during which the minor son of a former Miss South Africa was injured.
Roestoff says the dockets of both Wood and Eliasov will be handed to the senior state prosecutor who will decide about prosecution.
