SINGAPORE, May 29 — A 62-year-old man was charged in court today for beating a red light along Hougang Avenue 7 while riding his e-bike, with another charge of voluntarily causing hurt to an elderly man in the same incident pending.
Yue Kim Ming is accused of endangering the personal safety of others by committing the negligent act of beating a red light on May 18, at around 9.26pm.
The court was told that a charge of voluntarily causing hurt was pending, with investigations still continuing.
The investigations are understood to be linked to an incident that a Facebook user who goes by the name “Hui Ying” had posted about on May 19. She had appealed for witnesses to an assault on her 69-year-old father along Hougang Avenue 7 the previous night.
According to “Hui Ying”, her father had accidentally brushed against an e-bike rider while he was crossing the road. The rider then rained punches on her father’s chest and face before fleeing the scene.
She said her father suffered a heart attack after the assault.
Yue, who was arrested last Saturday, will appear in court again on June 12.
If convicted of committing a negligent act of beating a red light, endangering the safety of others, Yue could be jailed up to three months and/or fined up to S$1,500 (RM4,626.43). — TODAY
