Emergency services had been called to Dean Street, near David Street, where they found Daniel with "superficial injuries" to his face.

Daniel, who said nothing when Ms McLaughlin asked if he could see and hear the court, has been charged with affray, offensive behaviour and intimidation.

Mr Harrison said there would be no issues with Daniel, 30, coming into contact with Vandersluis as the teenager did not live near Daniel's address in Matra Place, North Albury

Mr Harrison said that while Daniel had some history for violence, these were historic - the last one was for assault.

"You have to go back eight or nine years to find offences of a similar nature," he said.

"The main issue here is keeping him away from Mr Vandersluis ... and places like the Albury CBD."

Daniel was granted bail with an 8pm to 7am curfew and must reappear in court on April 17.
