An Australian man who vaulted over a barricade and grabbed actress Ariana Grande has been expelled and prohibited from Singapore.
The man, aged 26, was handed a penalty to over a week in prison for being a public nuisance and has now been "barred from re-entering Singapore," the country's border control stated to Singaporean press.
The man shoved beyond security and rushed toward the actress and singer, who was attending the Asian premier for the film on November 13. Co-performer Cynthia Erivo wrestled him away from Grande.
The individual has a record of causing disturbances at events and celebrity events, including jumping on stage at the pop star's Australian show in the past June.
The occurrence caused anger in Singapore, with numerous people saying he of re-traumatising Grande.

In the legal process, the authorities learned he had attempted to intrude on the movie's debut on two occasions, according to Singaporean media.
He then made a follow-up try to cross the barriers. Security staff prevented him and pinned him down.
He then uploaded videos appreciating the celebrity for permitting his access and said he was "released."
Authorities detained him the subsequent day and accused him with public nuisance, to which Wen pleaded guilty.
The Court Judge the magistrate was referenced by a news outlet as remarking that he was looking for publicity, noting that he was wrong to believe he would not face any penalties.
The actress has not commented on the incident.
The co-star spoke about the situation to the press, stating that she "simply desired to make sure my friend was protected."
"I believe he didn't mean us injury, but you can't predict with these incidents, and I wanted to make sure that she was fine. That was my first instinct," she commented.
