Perth man to face court after Singapore airport struggle
A Perth man will face a Singapore court, charged over a violent struggle with police officers at Changi Airport. Vision: Nine News Perth.
The 44-year-old appeared in a Singapore court on Saturday charged with a string of offences including three counts of using vulgar language on police officers; two counts of using criminal force on them and two counts of causing annoyance to others while drunk in a public place.
He has also been charged with allegedly assaulting a police officer which carries a maximum seven-year jail term in Singapore.
In the video you can see two police officers attempt to grab Mr Darragh, before he appears to start dancing.
A scuffle breaks out before Mr Darragh starts abusing the officers.
"Don't f---ing touch me, alright?," he yells. "I'll knock your f---ing head off."
Earlier in the footage a police officer plunges a baton into Mr Darragh's stomach and the Perth man reacts by pushing him over.
At one point in the video, which lasts a number of minutes, police officers, security guards and members of the public try and subdue Mr Darragh.
"Local media outlets in Singapore are referring to it as a drunken spree that happened over a couple of weeks at the end of April and the start of May," 9 News reporter Scott Cunningham said.
"The vision was filmed at Changi Airport... you can see a man scuffling with police and at some point security guards actually try and intervene and appear to come to the aid of police before a number of people at the airport try and intervene and try and subdue the man.
"But one of the more serious charges is assaulting a police officer... in Singapore if found guilty he could go to jail for up to seven years or be fined or canned or receive a combination of both."
The 44-year-old did appear in a Singapore Court on Saturday and was released on bail with surety of $20,000.
He is due back in court on Friday.
