The 28-year-old appeared in ACT Magistrates Court on Saturday morning after she was charged with one count each of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, assault and resisting arrest.
The court also read three charges of assault against the woman for a violent incident with three security guards at the Tuggeranong Hyperdome in September.
Court documents said police were called to the bus interchange just after 12.30pm on Friday after reports an apparently intoxicated woman had been swinging her arms about and talking to herself
Police asked the woman to hand them a can of bourbon, which she allegedly refused to do before trying to walk away.
The documents said the defendant allegedly became aggressive toward one of the constables, who put their hands up to defend himself.
The woman was restrained, but allegedly broke free of two officers holding her and fell to the ground.
While on the ground, police alleged she kicked one of the constables in the head and scratched his arm.
She was placed into the back of a caged police vehicle and taken to the watch house.
The court heard the woman had been charged with three counts of assault in September, when she allegedly dislocated the shoulder of a Tuggeranong Hyperdome security guard and punched two others.
Though she had been summonsed to appear on the earlier charges, they had not yet been read to her in court.
The woman, who was handcuffed in court, represented herself and applied for bail.
Magistrate Robert Cook refused bail due to fears of reoffending and for the safety of the general public.
The matter was adjourned to June 19.
The woman has yet to enter a plea for any of the charges.
