SINGAPORE – A youth went to a counter of the Airport Police Division (APD) to report that he had lost his passport and wallet, only to fly into a rage after being told that he had to approach his country’s embassy for a passport replacement.
When the authorities tried to restrain Chinese national Fan Guangyao, 18, he became violent and scratched an officer’s hand, causing multiple superficial wounds.
On April 1, the teenager was sentenced to six weeks’ jail after he pleaded guilty to one count of using criminal force on a public servant.
The court heard that Fan went to the APD counter at around 11.30pm on Feb 11 to report that he had lost his wallet and passport at Changi Airport.
