A 54-year-old man from Broome has been charged after allegedly spitting in the face of a police officer following an incident at Perth Airport. Police allege the man was behaving aggressively in Terminal 3, yelling at strangers and lunging toward another person before being arrested and taken to the Perth Watch House. Authorities claim he later spat on an officer while in custody. He has been charged with assaulting a public officer and disorderly behaviour in public, offences that carry significant penalties if convicted.
