A BROKER who assaulted a motorist with a metal night stick baton was jailed for three weeks on Tuesday. Wee Kim Bin, 59, admitted beating Mr Chow Chuin Yee's left elbow and shoulder with the baton at the slip road of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 on Nov 18 last year. A court heard that the victim, together with his fiancee, was driving along the slip road from Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 towards the Central Expressway when he was caught in a traffic jam. The 37-year-old then heard a loud bang from the back of his car. When he got out and before he could do anything, Wee assaulted him with a baton. The victim blocked the blow with his left arm but was hit on his left elbow. When he turned around and tried to run away, he was hit on his left upper arm. Mr Chow's fiancee called the police, who came and found the baton on the road kerb near Wee's car. Wee could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for causing hurt.
