Queensland rugby league legend Trevor Gillmeister has been charged with assaulting a police officer following an incident at a Brisbane CBD pub over the weekend.<\/p>\n

It is alleged Gillmeister was kicked out of the Stock Exchange on Charlotte Street for assaulting a staff member just before midnight on Friday.<\/p>\n

He then allegedly pushed officers when they told him he was being arrested for public nuisance, got into a \u201cphysical struggle with police\u201d, and was taken to a watch house, a police spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has since been charged with one count each of public nuisance, assault and obstruct police,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed \u201cThe Axe\u201d, Gillmeister played more than 200 first-class games, 22 State of Origin matches for the Maroons, and represented Australia three times.<\/p>\n

In his post-playing career, he has been a coach for the Maroons and the Gold Coast Titans, and a rugby league expert for Channel Seven.<\/p>\n

He is expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on December 2.<\/p>\n
