SINGAPORE – The drunken owner of an advertising firm, who could not find an unlocked exit at Roxy Square shopping centre, assaulted a security supervisor even though the latter offered to show him the way out.
Briton Stuart Boyd Mills was sentenced on Monday (Sept 23) to a week’s jail for assaulting Mr Andrew Lim Cheng Hock, 59. A harassment charge was considered during sentencing.
The 47-year-old Singapore permanent resident, who owns The Creative Mills, was captured on video punching the older man and the clip went viral earlier this year.
The single blow caused Mr Lim to fall backwards onto the floor and break his spectacles.
On Monday, District Judge Christopher Tan noted that Mills had punched Mr Lim’s face, which is a “sensitive” part of the body.
The judge also said that the attack was “entirely unprovoked”, stressing that “general deterrence (was) relevant” in this case, as security officers are often in a vulnerable position.
The court heard that Mills and a friend had gone to a pub at the shopping mall in East Coast Road and ended their drinking session at around midnight on April 4.
