SINGAPORE - An intoxicated man was riding in a taxi shortly before midnight on Feb 4, 2022, after a drinking session when he started punching the elderly cabby in an unprovoked attack.
Taxi driver Chor Kin Yong, 73, had picked Chen up in his vehicle shortly before the attack and was entering a Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway tunnel when the younger man started punching his head and neck. Police arrived at the scene soon after. Senior Staff Sergeant Wong Chuen Kit was driving Chen to the Bedok police headquarters when he was kicked twice by the offender.
The prosecutors stressed that it would be implausible for Mr Chor to hit Chen under these circumstances.
