Security footage shows Queensland MP Les Walker being punched in Townsville bar
Security camera footage captured the moment north Queensland politician Les Walker was knocked unconscious in a Townsville bar.
The Mundingburra Labor MP was taken to hospital after an altercation with two young men at the Mad Cow Tavern in the early hours of January 16.
Mr Walker, 56, was issued an $800 infringement notice for public nuisance and temporarily banned from the city’s Safe Night Precinct.
The other men involved, aged 19 and 21, received the same penalties.
CCTV from inside the nightclub shows Mr Walker at a table where he is briefly approached by one of the men.
A physical confrontation unfolds and the MP is struck to the ground and knocked unconscious.
