A Perth man was charged in Singapore on Saturday, May 13, in connection with what the Straits Times said were several “drunken sprees.”

One of the charges related to a confrontation between the man, named in Australian and local reports as Jason Peter Darragh, and two police officers at Changi Airport on April 20. Darragh is accused of assaulting the officers, the Straits Times said.


Footage that was posted online on May 6, and cited in local and Australian reports, is described as showing this incident, in which the man described as Darragh is seen repeatedly scuffling with the two officers.
