Taxi driver jailed 8 weeks for punching elderly cyclists
SINGAPORE - A taxi driver was sentenced to eight weeks’ jail today (Aug 6) for punching two elderly cyclists in May last year.The court heard that 60-year-old Tan Chye Tiong had parked his taxi on the double yellow line of the driveway in front of a ramp at an HDB block to take smoke a cigarette after dropping off two passengers.
Chua Ah Ye, 61, Seow Cheng Khue, 75, and a friend were cycling home from a coffee shop at Chai Chee after celebrating Mother’s Day that night.
The three had wanted to access a pavement from the ramp, but Tan’s parked taxi blocked their way.
Madam Chua approached Tan and asked him to move his taxi, but Tan refused. The two argued, and Tan punched Madam Chua in the face, causing her to fall.
Tan then punched Mr Seow in the face after the latter scolded him for hurting Madam Chua.
The assault left Madam Chua with a bruised eye, swelling on her head, and a swollen finger.
Mr Seow suffered swelling on his eye and abrasions on his elbow.
The court granted Tan two weeks for him to settle his personal matters. He is currently on an S$8,000 bail, and will start serving his term on Aug 19.
He could have been jailed up to two years and fined S$5,000.
