A motorist alleges he was assaulted in Little India on the night of December 26th and is requesting witnesses to come forward with information.
Details of the Incident
According to a report from a motorist, identified only as “Anonymous,” the incident occurred around 11:30 PM near Snooze Inn at 28 Dunlop Street. The motorist stated he was driving home when he encountered a couple walking in the middle of the road.
After sounding his horn to alert the pedestrians, the motorist claims a man struck his vehicle, damaging the side mirror and driver’s door. The motorist confronted the man, who reportedly responded with, “What can you do?” This exchange was repeated after the motorist parked his car.
The situation escalated when the man removed his rings, suggesting a willingness to fight. The motorist attempted to de-escalate the situation by requesting the man wait for the police. However, the man allegedly blew cigarette smoke in the motorist’s face and began to push him.
The motorist states he was pinned down on a car, and the man pressed his hand against his neck, causing him to fear for his life. The man’s companion reportedly walked away during the altercation. The motorist was then allegedly pushed into a parked car.
The motorist followed the couple towards Jalan Besar MRT station, taking photographs of them. He subsequently filed a police report at the Rochor Neighbourhood Police Centre and received three days of medical leave after seeking treatment at Tan Tock Seng Hospital the following day.
