All he wanted was to give feedback that the floor of his maintenance storeroom was wet. But technician Kathaiyan Sakthivel found himself at the end of a horrific beating.
Closed circuit television (CCTV) footage of the attack last December shows him being punched in the face and chest, and then hit by a dustpan repeatedly until it broke.
The 42-year-old Indian national, who feared for his life while he was being hit with the dustpan, said: “I couldn’t stop myself from crying. I knelt down, kept saying ‘sorry’ and begged him to stop hitting me.”
He was one of two technicians from A@risco Services, an electrical servicing company, who were attacked by employees of other companies last year.
