According to Nine News, a 27-year-old man was shot in the leg, after reaching for a machete, during a brawl on February 4th at the Logan Hyperdome Shopping Centre in Brisbane, Australia.

The Daily Mail reported that the brawl at the shopping centre was between members of the local chapters of the Rebels Motorcycle Club and The Bandidos Motorcycle Club.

All of the individuals involved in that incident have since been arrested. One of those men was MMA fighter Gokhan Turkyilmaz, 33, who Nine News named as a member of the Rebels.
