Singer told police Belkhelouat had taken his ATM card while trying to “help” him make a transaction at a Kasikorn Bank automated teller machine. The two got into a fight with the Brit managing to get his card back before police arrived.

Upon seeing the police, Belkhelouat tried to flee into the hotel, but was apprehended by officers and charged with attempted robbery.
