Hurled racial slurs at East Coast Park
Aris had allegedly hurled racial slurs at a total of 7 people at East Coast Park on 2 July 2021, insulting 4 people at first and doing the same to another group of 3 people about 40 minutes later.
Aris allegedly used vulgarities at the second group and called them “Chinese dogs”, before asking them to “go back to China”.
One of the guys from the second group, Teo, then confronted Aris and told him to leave them alone, and was allegedly punched and kicked by the latter.
The police were informed and Aris had left prior to the police’s arrival, and Teo was then sent to the hospital.
Aris was later arrested by the police.
