SINGAPORE : The Swiss national arrested for allegedly vandalising a Singapore metro train with spray paint has been released on a S$100,000 bail.
It is believed that the passport of 33-year-old Oliver Fricker is still impounded to prevent him from leaving the country.
Fricker was charged in court on Saturday for vandalising an MRT train by spraying graffiti on it and damaging public property by cutting a wired fence.
The incident was said to have taken place between the late night of May 16 and the early hours of May 17 at the Changi Depot.
Fricker is said to have had an accomplice - British citizen Lloyd Dane Alexander. The Briton is believed to have left Singapore.
Vandalism is punishable by up to three years' jail or a maximum fine of S$2,000, plus three to eight strokes of the cane.
Fricker is scheduled to appear in court again on June 21.
