Singapore jails Australian man who rushed Ariana Grande  DW  11/17/2025
"Viral footage shows Wen putting his arm around Grande and jumping up and down before her co-star Cynthia Erivo stepped in between the two."
"Wen was then taken away by security but made another attempt to jump the barricade, at which point he was pinned down. He was later arrested and charged with "being a public nuisance.""
""This act was premeditated," Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh said. Wen has allegedly interrupted other sports events and concerts, leading the judge to say he "showed a pattern of behavior, which suggests that you will do it again.""
""You seem to be attention seeking, thinking only of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts," added Goh. In response, Wen said: "I won't do it again, Your Honor. I am going to stop getting into trouble.""
