Man headbutts, breaks stranger’s nose in drunken rage

Although Wu was also drinking with friends and was intoxicated at the time, he decided to head over after realising from the phone call that his wife was drunk.

Meanwhile, at about 12.24am on Feb 18, the victim drove to Bugis+ to pick up his girlfriend.

Seeing that the accused’s wife was intoxicated, the victim’s girlfriend suggested that he give her a lift home as well.

As Wu’s wife was unsteady on her feet, the victim reached out to support her. Just then, Wu arrived and saw the interaction.

Man flew into rage and broke stranger’s nose

Wu said he had already arranged for a chauffeur service to drive them home. Upon seeing the victim supporting his wife, he approached him and demanded an explanation.

The victim replied that he was planning to send the woman home. Wu then became angry, pushed the victim against a wall and headbutted him in the face.

The victim subsequently called the police.

He later sought treatment at the Singapore General Hospital, where doctors found a 1cm-long cut on his nose and a fractured nasal bone.

He was given four days of medical leave.

Wu later compensated the victim $207 for his medical expenses and was sentenced to eight week’s jail.
