SINGAPORE: A man who was seen in a viral video not wearing a mask on a train was handed a fresh charge on Monday (Jul 19) for failing to wear a mask outside the State Courts .
British national Benjamin Glynn, 40, had his bail revoked on Monday.
He is accused of failing to wear a mask between about 10am and 10.30am within and outside the State Courts on Jul 2.
Glynn appeared in court that day to face multiple charges - one count each of failing to wear a mask without reasonable excuse, public nuisance and using threatening words towards a public servant.

He showed up without wearing a mask and put it on only after court officers spoke to him. He was reminded twice by the judge to wear his mask properly.

Glynn is accused of failing to wear a mask outside his home while he was travelling from Raffles Place MRT station past 11pm on May 7. He also allegedly committed an act of public nuisance by declaring "I will never wear a mask" while on the train.
Two days later, he allegedly told two police officers at the lift lobby of Allsworth Park, a condominium in Holland Road: "I'm gonna f***ing drop you."
