A female police officer is in hospital with a broken arm after she was knocked to the ground and allegedly spat on during a wild late-night brawl at a kebab shop.
Police were called to Falafel House on Hindley Street, a popular party strip in Adelaide, on Sunday after reports of a fight.
CCTV footage shows a couple entering the restaurant before the woman throws goods at a customer and the man starts lashing out at another bystander.
Manager George Alkoury tried to intervene, but was also hit by the man and thrown to the ground.
