Ex- Liverpool star Dietmar "Didi" Hamann has appeared in court in Australia following an alleged domestic disturbance.
The 45-year-old, who is visiting the country on an extended holiday, allegedly pushed his girlfriend during an argument at a house in Sydney.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Friday morning, with police arriving at the scene at 2.15am, The Mirror reports .
He was charged with common assault after being arrested.
An apprehended violence order was subsequently taken out by police to protect the alleged victim, who was not injured.
But Hamann allegedly breached the AVO before being arrested again, according to the Daily Mail.
Hamann appeared in the Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday morning at 9.30am local time, where he was granted bail after a short hearing.
Police had reportedly opposed bail and argued that Hamann was a risk to offend again.
Magistrate Michael Price granted bail on the condition that the former Germany international hand over his passport and report to Waverley Police Station on Monday and Friday.
He will appear in Waverley Local Court on Thursday where his lawyer stated they will fight the charge.
Hamann played for Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League Final. He also featured in the Premier League for Newcastle and Manchester City, as well as winning 59 caps for his country.
