HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — A Royal Navy sailor is facing charges in the United Kingdom for his alleged involvement in a fight in Tumon two years ago.
In August 2021, Royal Navy sailor Fraser Malek was charged in the Superior Court of Guam with two counts of assault as misdemeanors in connection to a fight in Tumon.
Malek was accused of punching a man who lost consciousness for a couple of minutes and shoving a woman, which caused her to fall off the sidewalk and into the street, according to court documents.
According to Post files, Malek’s case was dismissed in the Superior Court of Guam in November 2021.
Malek departed Guam Aug. 13 with the United Kingdom’s Carrier Strike Group 21.

On Tuesday, British newspaper The Daily Mail published a story that revealed Malek is facing charges in the Bulford Military Court after hearing of the altercation in Guam.
According to the prosecutor, Malek and another Navy colleague had gotten into a fight with a group of Americans before a Royal Marine tried to intervene.
The Marine was punched and knocked to the ground, resulting in a broken jaw requiring two metal plates to be treated.
According to the prosecutor, Malek accepted during his interview with police he had been in an argument with the Americans but denied punching the Marine.
