A child star on Home and Away spent the weekend behind bars after allegedly attacking a police officer while already on bail over a separate assault.
Felix Dean was just 10 when he got his big break on the show, acting alongside Ada Nicodemou as her on-screen son VJ Patterson from 2007 to 2014.
The 24-year-old was already on bail following an incident back in January when police allege they found him at an address in Paddington on Saturday night.
Officers were called to the home following reports of an altercation between two men.
Dean allegedly 'became violent' when an officer attempted to arrest him, lashing out and kicking a senior constable in the leg.
He was eventually taken to Surry Hills Police Station where he was charged with assaulting an officer in the execution of duty, breaching his bail conditions and failing to comply with Covid directives.
On a social media post last month, Dean referred to himself as the 'OG VJ' while describing himself as a 'work in progress'
Ada Nicodemou, who plays VJ's mum Lea on the program, viewed Dean as a 'surrogate son' after their time together on the show
