Moderated by Tomas Kauer 
A man could face 10 years' imprisonment after allegedly spitting on a police officer while being arrested at Perth Airport.
The man from Broome, 54, was first noticed in Terminal 3 of the airport last month when he was seen yelling at a woman he did not know.
Police walked him away from the woman, but he allegedly kept on yelling, being aggressive to another person, and allegedly lunged towards a man who was not involved in the situation.

The man has now been charged with assaulting a public officer and one count of disorderly behaviour in public.
He could face 10 years imprisonment if found guilty, as well as a $6000 fine.
The man was granted bail to face court today.
