READ MORE FROM COURT:
Police were alerted to the incident after a live Facebook video circulated social media.
Police allege Woodbridge used unlawful violence towards two women during the brawl, which happened on Alcheringa Street at about 7pm on Tuesday.
Defence lawyer Molly Bland said while the conduct was unacceptable she argued Woodbridge was under "extreme provocation".
The police prosecutor opposed the application as Woodbridge was on bail for other violence related matters when the alleged offence occurred.
They also argued they had a strong case against the 32-year-old due to video footage of the brawl, which was handed to police.
Magistrate Gary Wilson found Woodbridge posed an unacceptable risk and opposed bail.
The matter will return to court on March 1.
Shortly after the brawl, police charged a 48-year-old woman with dangerous driving and affray after she allegedly drove her car towards a group of people on Alcheringa Street and became involved in a fight with another woman.
She was granted conditional bail and told to front court on May 5.
Police said up to 20 people were reportedly involved in the brawl, which appeared to have started after a group of people armed with cricket bats, golf clubs and rocks confronted the driver of a green Honda CRV wagon.
