Back for 'revenge': Man assaults elderly Jurong coffee shop cleaner who cleared his glass of beer
Two days after a coffee shop cleaner cleared away his glass of beer, the man returned for 'revenge', brutally beating up the elderly employee.
The assault occurred at around 9.20pm on Friday (June 7) at Block 101 Yuan Sheng Road in Taman Jurong, reported Shin Min Daily News.
A staff at the coffee shop's beverage stall told the Chinese evening daily that the perpetrator is a frequent drinker who lives nearby.
The staff, who is in his 20s, said the man had suddenly punched the elderly cleaner, causing the latter to fall to the ground and supposedly pass out.
Subsequently, he dragged the defenceless cleaner about 10 metres away before continuing to kick and punch him in the face and stomach.
The beverage stall staff said that he had tried to pull the drinker away from the victim but got pushed by the former.
Another eyewitness surnamed Li added that many people had tried to break up the fight, but the man was very agitated and violent.
After both men were separated, the cleaner was taken to a hospital. Meanwhile, the man was taken away by the police after questioning.
