(Dec 21) – A New Zealander accused of taking part in a drunken taxi rampage in Singapore has skipped bail and his family say he has no plans to return.
An arrest warrant had been issued for former Junior Tall Black Robert Dahlberg, 34, who was working as a broker, Singapore police said.
The Nelson man was charged with grievous bodily harm and assault after the incident in April last year – charges with a sentence of up to 10 years’ imprisonment and the cane, said police…
Dahlberg had been living in Singapore for about five years and was out drinking with two friends, British man Robert James Springall, 24, and Nathan Robert Miller, 35, an Australian, at Suntec City on April 11 last year when the incident happened.
The three men were believed to be drunk when they allegedly abused two taxi drivers and two passengers. Dahlberg is understood to have punched a businessman and pushed another man, causing his face to hit a pillar, reportedly fracturing his Nasal bone and cutting his head.
