An elderly man was beaten up in a coffee shop for allegedly molesting the assailant’s girlfriend.
The incident, part of which was captured on video, happened at Block 59, Marine Terrace, on Sunday at about 1.30pm.
A bald man in his 20s had accused the older man of touching his girlfriend’s buttocks before attacking him on and off for about 20 minutes, witnesses told The New Paper yesterday.
The victim suffered a broken nose, had blood all over his face, and his T-shirt was ripped to shreds.
A customer at the coffee shop said: “The young man kept punching the old man and no one stepped in to help. I was afraid to step in as well because he was so fierce and looked intimidating.”
The police said they are investigation the incident as a case of voluntarily causing grievous hurt and outrage of modesty.
