COWBOYS star Johnathan Thurston has been arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour in Brisbane's CBD.
Police said he and two others including Nathan Daley and Willie Tonga were "behaving in a disorderly manner'' in George Street outside the Treasury Casino about 4.15am.
Police spoke to the group and they laughed at the officers, before walking towards a taxi rank.
Thurston and Daley are then alleged to have wrestled each other on to the roadway, ending up on top of the taxi.
Police said the pair was then arrested "for their own safety''.
"Both were grossly intoxicated,'' said an officer.
"Nobody minds people going out and having a good time, but when they're spoken to by police they really need to pull their heads in.''
