Hells Angels’ most prominent member, Jørn Jønke Nielsen, was in court today charged with gross bodily harmThe spokesman for the Hells Angels biker gang ,Jørn Jønke Nielsen, is back in court today charged with gross bodily harm. Jønke was remanded in custody in December 2007 after stabbing a man in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen. Jønke remained in custody for months after he refused to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, before being released in October 2008.On his return to court today he was joined by around 50 biker supporters. Jønke and a member of the Hells Angels support group, AK 81, are charged with the attack but continue to maintain that they acted in self-defence.A third man involved in the dispute, identified only as Mr. S., also appeared in court charged with attacking Jønke and the AK 81 member. Mr. S. was brought to the courthouse wearing a bullet proof vest and surrounded by armed police guards.All three have pleaded not guilty to charges and the case could be finished as early as Friday. Jønke was one of the founding members of the first Danish Hells Angels chapter. He came to prominence in 1984 when he killed the head of the rival biker gang Bullshit. The 24-year-old fled the country to Canada and returned four years later to face a 16 year jail sentence.During the height of the biker warfare between the Hells Angels and Bandidos in 1996, Bandidos members tried to assassinate Jønke while he was serving his sentence in Jyderup state prison. He was shot with a machine gun but survived the attack. Hand grenades were also thrown in front of his cell.The biker was involved in the death of a man during a 2001 fight at an Aalborg disco, which saw him receive a four year jail term.
