SINGAPORE \u2013 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\u2019s embassy for a passport replacement. <\/p>\n
When the authorities tried to restrain Chinese national Fan Guangyao, 18, he became violent and scratched an officer\u2019s hand, causing multiple superficial wounds.<\/p>\n
On April 1, the teenager was sentenced to six weeks\u2019 jail after he pleaded guilty to one count of using criminal force on a public servant.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Officers then told him to approach the Chinese Embassy for a passport replacement.<\/p>\n
Unhappy, Fan started shouting at them and refused to calm down even though they repeatedly told him to do so.<\/p>\n
In a statement on April 6, a police spokesperson said: \u201cAn officer attempted to de-escalate the situation by placing his hand on Fan\u2019s shoulder and asking him to calm down. <\/p>\n
\u201cFan slammed his hand on the table and continued to shout at the officers. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the officer made another attempt to calm him down with a shoulder tap, Fan pushed the officer\u2019s hand away and continued shouting.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer then made a further attempt to calm Fan down by placing his hand on the teenager\u2019s shoulder. However, the youth remained uncooperative and pushed the officer\u2019s hand away. <\/p>\n
Fan later became violent and scratched an officer\u2019s hand. He was arrested soon after.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
