POLICE set up a mobile command centre in the centre of Alice Springs yesterday after a fight outside the Supreme Court assault trial of former AFL star Liam Jurrah.
One man suffered a cut to the mouth after being punched during an adjournment in the trial, after a key witness claimed Jurrah had taken no part in the assault upon his cousin Basil Jurrah at Little Sisters town camp in March last year.
Bruno Wilson, 23, told the court he had lied to police in a statement last year when he claimed Jurrah had hit his cousin three times with a nulla nulla during a brawl between feuding family factions.
Mr Wilson said he was with Jurrah and a number of other men and women who went to the camp to "finish what the problem was" between the groups, which stemmed from the death of a young man many months earlier.

Mr Wilson said a group of about nine men had chased Basil Jurrah to the backyard of a house, where he was punched and knocked out - before another man, Christopher Walker, used the blunt side of an axe to knock out the victim's front teeth.
Mr Wilson said that while Liam Jurrah was present, he was unarmed and did not assault Basil Jurrah.

Other witnesses, from the rival group, have previously told the court Liam Jurrah was armed with a weapon and had joined Mr Walker in the attack.
Mr Wilson told prosecutor Steven Robson he had lied to police in an interview in July last year, when he told a detective Liam Jurrah had hit Basil Jurrah three times with a nulla nulla.
"I said that, but it was not true ... I felt under pressure from the detective," Mr Wilson said.
He rejected a claim by prosecutor Steven Robson that he was lying to the jury to protect Liam Jurrah, who has pleaded not guilty to unlawfully causing serious harm to Basil Jurrah.
During the lunch adjournment, members of the feuding groups yelled at each other across the road, before a heavy police contingent intervened.
Another witness, Murray Woods, told the court that he was hit in the back of the head when the group invaded the camp, but that Liam Jurrah had helped him to another house and ensured he was all right.
