A food delivery rider has been sentenced to six weeks' jail for hitting an 80-year-old man with his personal mobility aid (PMA), as well as physically assaulting him.

Shin Min Daily News reported that on Aug. 18, Mohamad Supri (transliterated), 52, pleaded guilty to one charge of voluntarily causing hurt.

Another charge of committing a rash act causing hurt was taken into consideration during sentencing.

First punch​

According to Shin Min, court documents showed that the incident took place on Feb. 10 at 10pm.

The elderly man was walking on a footpath near Block 236 Bukit Batok East Avenue 5.

The accused's PMA hit him, causing him to suffer injuries to his right thigh and hip.

The victim got angry when the accused rode off without stopping.

He cursed loudly at the accused while walking to a nearby bench to sit down to ease the pain.

When the accused heard this, he dismounted from his PMA before walking over and punching the elderly man in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Second punch​

When the man tried to get up and call for help, the accused punched him a second time, this time in the chest, causing the elderly man to fall a second time.

He then rode off.

A 21-year-old woman who witnessed the assault rushed to help the victim and called the police who tracked the assailant down later that night.

The elderly man was taken to the hospital and discharged on the same day with no visible injuries.

During his plea for leniency, Supri claimed to have been suffering from a slipped disc and said he was scheduled for a third surgery, adding that he found it difficult to walk and could not "sleep in a prison".

Mohamad Supri is just the latest food deliveryman who shows a propensity for violence against a defenceless victim. He has done the crime, so he must do the time. His so-called slipped disc did not prevent him from assaulting the 80-year-old victim.

Syed Putra needs to manage his anger and emotion. It is getting out of hand these days.

What happened to the case of the 49-year-old Chinese woman who was assaulted by a group of 4-5 Malay PMA riders outside a condo in Sembawang a year ago? She shouted at them to slow down after they almost collided into her. The police only said that 4 people are “assisting with investigations for voluntarily causing hurt and intentional harassment”.

Victim has no visible injuries? Is this really an assault case or public foreplay gone wrong?

Punching an 82-year-old man in the face and chest is enough to kill him. Mohamad Supri must be taught a lesson not to terrorise the elderly.
