A British recruitment consultant was sentenced to four weeks' jail for kicking a policeman.
Briton Luke Raymond Chapman, 31, admitted to causing hurt to Corporal Amirul Haikal Khairudin, 21, with intent to deter him from discharging his duty.
The Straits Times reported that on September 17, 2011, Chapman was detained at Esplanade Mall for a case of outrage of modesty. He smelled of alcohol and was aggressive.
When the police arrested him, he kicked a police car. Cpl Amirul helped his colleagues hold Chapman's shoulder and pull him towards the car. Cpl Amirul also warned him to cooperate.
Chapman suddenly kicked Cpl Amirul's right leg with his left leg.
The other officers then had to use reasonable force to bring Chapman to the police vehicle.
Chapman was cleared of molesting a 29-year-old woman and punching a 22-year-old waiter. He settled the cases by paying them $5,000 and $500 respectively. He also apologised to them in open court.
