SYDNEY, Sept 21 (AFP) - French athlete Marie-Jose Perec and boyfriend Anthuan Maybank have been questioned by police after an attack on an Australian cameraman at Singapore airport, Channel Nine's news director Paul Fenn said Thursday.

The cameraman was taken to hospital and Perec and Maybank into downtown Singapore for further questioning.

"It was extraordinary behaviour," Fenn told AFP. "Maybank was hitting our cameraman in the head."

Perec and her entourage abruptly fled Sydney overnight after she claimed she had been threatened by a stalker in her hotel room where she was preparing for the Olympic Games.
