His victim lay motionless, but that did not stop one 45-year-old man from kicking, punching and stomping on him in full view of shocked bystanders.
The man, who was not identified, was arrested for voluntarily causing grievous hurt and suspected drug-related offences after his violent rampage at Block 182A Rivervale Crescent on Tuesday (Sept 22) afternoon, police said.
The 47-year-old on the receiving end of the man’s blows was conscious when conveyed to Sengkang General Hospital, they added.
The perpetrator had apparently recommended the victim for a cleaning job. However, their relationship soured due to the latter’s lacklustre work and led to the altercation, Shin Min Daily News reported.
The two men argued before exchanging blows, an eyewitness told the Chinese daily.
In the course of the fight, the victim fell to the ground, but the other man did not let up on him, he said.
