Tomic was asked to turn down his music following complaints from other residents but then got into a argument with security officers.

He added: "Obviously it was disappointing what happened - It was a bit interesting, obviously I couldn't control what happened.

"I feel sad in one way, the police were doing their job, I was playing music loud, there were several complaints coming from the rooms."
