Man saw ex-girlfriend chatting with male friend, flew into rage and attacked both

At approximately 5pm, Peng – who did not have a driver’s license – drove a borrowed car to multiple locations, before heading to the Canberra Street area to deliver e-cigarettes.

At around 10.20pm that evening, he arrived at Block 106B Canberra Street. He wanted to reminisce about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, who was 23 at the time, and hoped to run into her.

Peng then noticed her talking to a male friend, and immediately went up to the man, verbally abusing and punching him.

After fleeing, the man turned back and saw Peng punching his ex-girlfriend in the head and shoulder, causing her to fall to the ground. He then shouted at Peng to stop.

Peng chased after the man, who fled into a multi-storey carpark.

After abandoning the pursuit, he kicked the man’s vehicle before returning to his own.

Seeing that the man was still in the carpark, Peng drove towards him, causing the man to flee to a nearby coffee shop

After the defendant left, the man returned to the scene and found two passers-by. He asked one of them to help him call the police.

Not first assault

The ex-girlfriend sought medical treatment the next day for a 1cm laceration on the back of her head, as well as redness and swelling on her right shoulder. She was granted four days of sick leave.

The prosecution noted Peng had also assaulted his ex-girlfriend on June 22 of the same year and left the scene after the incident.

Furthermore, Peng drove a long distance without a driver’s license with a passenger onboard, endangering his own life as well as the lives of other road users.
