A Queensland man accused of seriously injuring a local man during an alleged naked rampage in the religiously conservative Indonesian province of Aceh will soon be on his way home.
Bodhi Mani Risby-Jones, 23, has been in custody since late April after he allegedly chased and struck people in the street, including a fisherman who needed stitches in his leg.

Risby-Jones faced a charge of maltreatment, according to media reports.
It is understood Risby-Jones will be released on Tuesday night and could be on his way to Queensland within hours.
He reportedly faced up to five years in jail and a public lashing if convicted over the alleged attack in the town of Simeulue.
His victim, Edi Ron, suffered a large cut on his leg that required dozens of stitches.
He told 7NEWS that Risby-Jones “went berserk, chasing people”.
He claimed he was hit by the young man “from behind”.
“If I had not been saved by the people there, I would have been beaten in the ditch,” Edi said.
Risby-Jones told local media he felt “possessed” and “was not myself” during the incident.
In late May, it was revealed Risby-Jones had reached an agreement to pay his victim AU$25,000.
“I hope the money can be used to help you guys a lot,” Risby-Jones told Edi’s wife through an interpreter, the ABC reported.
“I am once again very sorry and I’m very happy that you accepted my apology. Thank you.”
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was sought for comment.
