FIJI 7s rep Pio Tuwai has been charged with one count of assault.

Dubbed the off-load king, Tuwai is alleged to have off-loaded his anger when he allegedly assaulted his former girlfriend.

Police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro has confirmed that the national rep is set to appear in court on Monday.

“The 7s player alleged to have assaulted his partner has been charged with one count of assault. He remains in custody and will be produced at the Nadi Magistrates Court on Monday,” Naisoro said.

Tuwai who was dropped by Ben Ryan for the Rio Olympics after a series of medical conditions that led to his hospitalisation before the final leg of the Rio preparations is alleged to have assaulted the woman at her workplace.

Their relationship is understood to have ended but the rugger is alleged to have attempted to reconcile and get back with the woman.

The victim was medically examined yesterday with reports now with the Namaka Police station.
