A man accused of assaulting an Indian-origin taxi driver in Adelaide dropped his pants to moon at reporters outside a court Tuesday.
Christopher Farinola, 20, from Osborne in Adelaide in South Australia state, who had allegedly assaulted Manbir Singh, 24, at Henely Beach Nov 16 last year, pulled his T-shirt over his head to hide his face and then bared his backside while leaving the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court.
In the attack, Singh suffered a fractured eye socket and partially lost sight in an eye, news.com.au reported.
Four persons were charged in connection with the case.
Co-accused Bradley Field, 20, also appeared for the first time in the court. The date for the hearing of two other men charged over the incident is yet to be fixed.
Farinola was remanded and will have to reappear in court in March.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
