A naked alleged fugitive found by two fishermen sitting on a tree branch in Australian crocodile-infested waters has been slapped with additional charges of breaching bail and aggravated assault. “He looked like he needed a beer, although he was in a bad way,” Faust said. Voskresensky was taken to a Darwin hospital where he was placed under police guard as he was treated for exposure. Northern Territory police said Voskresensky had been free on bail after being charged with armed robbery. A police spokeswoman told Guardian Australia after Voskresensky was re-arrested he was charged with aggravated assault and breach of bail.
