SINGAPORE - Being sent to a home failed to deter a woman from committing violent acts when she brazenly attacked a 17-year-old girl for around four minutes in front of two other residents.
She continued assaulting the teenager when a staff member arrived at the scene, and the attack stopped only when the worker pulled the victim away.Her assailant pleaded guilty to an assault charge on Friday.Court documents did not reveal why the assailant had been sent to the home, but the attack took place at around 9.20am on Jan 22, 2023, after she got into a disagreement with the victim.
The victim tried to shield herself from the blows by using her arms to cover her face. Her assailant then grabbed her hair and banged her head against the floor. The staff member, who arrived at the scene soon after, tried but failed to persuade the offender to stop attacking the teenager.
