Richmond's Dustin Martin was told to leave a Chapel St restaurant on Saturday night after being drunk and offensive to other diners.

A female customer at the restaurant called the club on Monday to complain about the behaviour of the senior player who was drunk and offensive to her and others at the restaurant.

The Tigers player, who has been punished by the club in the past for drunken incidents, was asked by management of Mr Miyagi Japanese restaurant to leave after he upset customers with his behaviour,

Sober and contrite on Monday, Martin called the female customer who complained about him and apologised to her for his behaviour

A club spokesman said Martin's behaviour was clearly unacceptable, he had apologised to the woman in question as well as the managers and owners of the restaurant.

"He had been drinking and was clearly disruptive to other diners and a female patron," the club spokesman confirmed.

"He has subsequently called her and apologised ... his behaviour was not good enough."

The club was yet to say what, if any, further action they might take against the player as they had only just determined what had occurred.

Absolutely not on. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if Richmond suspended one of their players for threatening to stab a person regardless of how integral they are to the Richmond structure. That could have been a terrifying experience for her since this is a time when such unjust and careless acts are widespread.

He has apologised though. If I were him, I'd make sure I would make it very clear that her life is not actually in danger and not repeat such acts again

EDIT: I didn't realise the stabbing threat was with a chopstick.
Still, a chopstick can be used as a weapon and can cause serious harm to a person
