A 57-year-old British man is facing charges for verbally abusing an airline staff member and damaging property at Changi Airport Terminal 3 after he became agitated when told he would be offloaded from his flight.
SINGAPORE: A 57-year-old man from the United Kingdom was scheduled to be charged in court on Monday , the Singapore Police Force said in a statement. The man is said to have yelled at a female airline staff member as well as destroyed a wall panel at an airport aerobridge on March 8.
The incident occurred after the man had already boarded his flight from Singapore to London. When he realised that he had misplaced his mobile phone at the airport, he got off the plane and spoke to the staff member at the gate hold room in Changi Terminal 3 to ask for help in finding the phone at the airport lounge.
This angered the man, who allegedly responded with abusive and derogatory words. Additionally, as the man walked to the plane, he kicked and damaged a wall panel at the aerobridge. Officers from the Airport Police Division, who had been alerted to the incident, arrived and the man was offloaded from the flight.
