A relief taxi driver who punched an auxiliary police officer and stole her mobile phone was jailed for four months on Thursday.
Teo Ah Wa, 51, now an electrician, had admitted to punching the head and face of Ms Nur Asnizah Abdul Hamid and stealing her $90 cellphone near Block 31 Dover Road on May 27 last year.
A district court heard that the 19-year-old officer was on anti-littering/smoking rounds at the hawker centre at Block 33 when she saw Teo throw away his cigarette butt.
She approached him and identified herself as a Cisco Certis officer with the National Environment Agency.
