AFL star Noah Balta is charged with assault after late night brawl

Richmond Tigers’ AFL premiership star Noah Balta has been charged over an off-season altercation that reportedly left a man with head wounds.

Police were called to a sports club in Mulwala, near the Victoria-NSW border, shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning.

NSW Police confirmed Balta was later charged with assault over an alleged incident after another man was hospitalized, according to Seven News chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary.

Balta turned himself in to the police just before lunchtime on Tuesday.

He was released on bail to appear at the Corowa Local Court on January 30.
