A Gold Coast 'bikie' has been charged with torturing a man who fell six stories onto a strip club.
Marcus Lopez was left in a critical condition after he plunged from the balcony of a Surfer's Paradise unit onto the roof of Hollywood Showgirls last year.
Self-proclaimed Bandido Trent Bevin, 39, was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm over the incident.
On Friday, Bevin appeared at Southport Magistrates Court to face an additional charge of torture.
A new version of events has been provided by witnesses, contradicting Bevin's account, and alleging he tortured Mr Lopez, The Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Donna Minns said police were seeking medical evidence to show that Mr Lopez's injuries, particularly to his eye, were not all a result of the fall.
Bevin claims to be a member of the Bandido bikie gang, but legal aid solicitor Lauren Heaney told the court there was no evidence to prove Bevin was a member of the Bandidos.
One of the witnesses who witnessed the alleged torture said she called members of the Bandidos to help the victim, Ms Heaney said.
'They've confirmed via forensic and phone examinations the defendant was actually being threatened by one of the witnesses that they were going to set members of criminal organisations on him,' she was quoted as saying by the Gold Coast Bulletin.
Mr Bevin's Facebook page has numerous posts about the Bandidos, but other people who appear to be connected to the gang frequently dispute the claim in comments.
