FORMER Melbourne forward Liam Jurrah hit a woman on the head with a traditional Aboriginal club during a fight in Alice Springs last year, a court has been told.

On Tuesday prosecution witnesses described events on March 7 last year when it's also alleged Jurrah used a weapon to seriously injure his cousin Basil at the Little Sisters town camp.

Jurrah and the Demon drink

Ingrid White, who was at Little Sisters on the night in question, told the court that Jurrah was armed with a nulla nulla, a type of club, when he and another man - Josiah Fry - attacked her.

"Liam started to hit me on the head," White said.

She said she was hit as she tried to stop the two men attacking another man, Lemiah Woods.

Other witnesses testified as to what happened on the same night, although there were different accounts of what sort of weapon Jurrah was allegedly carrying.

Some claimed the former footballer carried a crowbar, while others gave accounts that it could have been an axe, a big stick, a nulla nulla or a machete.

Earlier, the court was told Jurrah had been involved in two violent incidents at Little Sisters on March 7.

During the first alleged incident Lemiah Woods told the court he was sitting around a campfire when he saw Jurrah and a group of other people running towards a home at Little Sisters.

He said Jurrah was armed with a crowbar when he first came to the camp, and was carrying an axe and a big stick the second time.

Woods said that on the night of the alleged assault Jurrah and another man - Denis Nelson - had also smashed some windows from his father's car.

Woods said he had a fight with Nelson and the police came and arrested Nelson.

It was later that a group that included Jurrah returned and the ex-footballer and others ran towards him, some throwing rocks and yelling abuse, Woods said.

An armed Basil Jurrah was among a group of people who then turned up at Little Sisters.

"I saw Basil with a machete," Woods said under cross-examination.

Woods said that when the violence broke out he ran off into a grassy area but returned to see Basil Jurrah lying on his back and bleeding from head injuries.

Jurrah's aunt, Freda Nabaltjari Jurrah, testified that she was sitting around a campfire when she heard a man named Christopher Walker from the rival group singing out to people she was with.

"He said 'who wants to fight with me?'" Ms Jurrah said.

"I told him nobody wants to fight him."

She told the court Walker said he was going to come back with his family, and later a group that included Liam Jurrah returned, but it was too dark to see whether they were carrying weapons.

Later she saw the alleged victim Basil Jurrah lying injured on the ground, and when police and an ambulance came, people scattered, she said.

Philomena White told the court she witnessed events from inside a home, where she was looking after children.

She said on the night the events took place there were 20 or 30 people fighting.

Looking out the back window of the home she said she saw Liam Jurrah and others strike Basil Jurrah.

"I saw they were fighting with Basil and after that Basil was lying on the ground," she said.

Under cross-examination White said that Basil Jurrah at one stage was carrying a nulla nulla and a machete.

The trial, before Chief Justice Trevor Riley, continues.
