RBS exec cracks windscreen with fist
Road rage case involves a Merc driven by a woman
By SIOW LI SEN
(SINGAPORE) A senior Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) banker driving his blue Bentley has been involved in a road rage case.
Bentley brawl: Mr Masuhr, a German who became a Singaporean four years ago, is said to be absolutely apologetic and very contrite over the incident
Stefan Masuhr, RBS head of credit structuring & repackaging Asia Pacific, was said to have been in a state of shock when he slammed his fist into the windscreen of a Mercedes Benz driven by a Madam Wang, cracking the glass.
A RBS spokeswoman confirmed that Mr Masuhr was involved in the incident on the Central Expressway (CTE) but declined further comment 'as this is a private matter'.
The police said that both parties have filed their reports and they are investigating the incident.
Mr Masuhr is originally from Germany and became a Singaporean about four years ago.
A source said that he felt he had been forced to brake abruptly when Madam Wang, who was filtering out of the CTE into Braddell Road, cut into his lane.
BT understands that Mr Masuhr's 31/2-year-old daughter, who was in the back seat of the Bentley along with her seven-year-old brother, bruised her head and had to be hospitalised for a few hours. The source said that this could have caused him to lose his temper.
According to The New Paper, Madam Wang claimed that the blue Bentley accelerated and abruptly cut into her lane shortly after she had filtered into Braddell Road on Tuesday evening. It then screeched to a sudden halt, forcing her to step on her brakes.
The driver got out of his vehicle, stormed over to her white Mercedes-Benz and started shouting at her, she said.
Then, he slammed his bare fist into her car windscreen as she remained in the driver's seat. He did this at least twice, cracking the glass, Madam Wang said.
'He was in a state of shock, he's absolutely apologetic, he's very contrite, that's why he gave his card,' the source said.
Mr Masuhr, who has been in Singapore for 12 years now, joined RBS in June 2010.
He was previously with Deutsche Bank for four years where he was head of funds and managed investment solutions. He had also worked at Asia HypoVereinsbank and WestLB.
