The guard, who was directing traffic, also fell and injured a thumb ligament.
SINGAPORE: A driver who shoved a security guard directing traffic at United Square Shopping Mall, causing him to fall backwards and fracture his wrist, was jailed for six weeks on Monday .
The 56-year-old victim was standing on a chevron lane directing traffic when he gestured to Wang to stop. He told Wang he was not permitted to enter the lane for taxis, and that he could drive into the mall - which had a 30-minute free parking grace period - to pick up his passengers. Mr Dhillon asked the prosecution to replay the videos and pointed out Wang was trying to help his wife and young child board the car with a stroller.The lawyer said that footage showed another vehicle dropping someone off, so what his client did was"nothing unusual".
Mr Dhillon said this incident was"a one-off aberration" and said his client was not"a criminally inclined person". He flagged Wang's charity work and donations to developing countries."No doubt the victim has suffered physical injuries, but the negative publicity has completely paralysed the accused, as he has been demonised as a rich and powerful foreign brat," said Mr Dhillon.
