SINGAPORE: A man was fined S$3,500 by a district court on Monday for slapping an elderly pedestrian who had shouted at him, asking why he was driving so fast.A second charge of using threatening behaviour by holding a long torchlight during the altercation was considered in sentencing.
As Low passed the victim, he heard a"bang" sound from inside the car and surmised that the victim may have hit the car.The two men scolded and shouted at each other.Low then slapped the victim on his left cheek before leaving. The victim suffered pain, redness on his cheek and lightheadedness but did not seek medical attention.The prosecution sought a fine of at least S$4,000 for Low, saying it was aggravating that the victim was an elderly person who was vulnerable.
In that judgment, the court had declined to categorise a charge as a road rage offence because the hurt was caused in retaliation to the victim's act of hitting the accused's car, rather than in response to the shared use of the road.
