SINGAPORE \u2013 A man who allegedly snatched a cap bearing an Israeli emblem from an older man and assaulted him on a bus in Sengkang will be charged on June 4.<\/p>\n
The younger man will be charged with the offence of voluntarily causing hurt, said the police in a statement on June 3.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Oct 27, 2025, with the police receiving a call for assistance over an assault in Rivervale Drive in Sengkang at about 10.40pm.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations found that the younger man, 30, had allegedly snatched the cap bearing the Israeli emblem from the older man and assaulted him. The two men did not know each other.<\/p>\n
The 55-year-old was injured and sought medical treatment, and the suspect was later tracked down by the authorities through ground inquiries and police camera images.<\/p>\n
If convicted of his offence, the suspect faces up to three years\u2019 jail, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.<\/p>\n
