Singapore: Singapore authorities charged an Australian man Friday for rushing film star Ariana Grande at the Asia premiere of "Wicked: For Good".
Grande and other stars were attending the opening night of the film at Universal Studios in the city-state when the man, identified by court papers as Johnson Wen, 26, jumped a barricade and rushed the actor.
Video clips, which have gone viral, show the man wrapping his arm around a shocked Grande before he jumps up and down and waves to the crowd.

Grande's co-star Cynthia Erivo then rushes to her defence. The man is grabbed by security guards and dumped back over the barricade.
