A 15-year-old cyclist wound up with 10 stitches on his face after trying to help out a skateboarder he had accidentally collided with at a junction in Tampines.

STOMPer Denver, a friend of the victim, says that the cyclist had tried to avoid the skateboarder when he saw him coming from the opposite direction.

Unfortunately, the two collided with each other when they both happened to swerve in the same direction.

The cyclist then got up and apologised to the skateboarder, even reaching out to help him up.

However, the unforgiving man turned angrily toward him and punched him on the face, leaving a deep wound at the corner of his lip.

The man's punch fell hard on the young boy's face as he was wearing a ring at the time.

In an email, an appalled STOMPer Denver says:

"A friend of mine got punched hard on the face when he collided with a skateboarder.

"Both of them collided at the junction of Tampines, opposite the Nissan car centre.

"My friend was on the bicycle when both of them clashed.

"My friend went to help him up and apologised to him. But instead of getting a thank you, he got a hard punch on the face.

"The skateboarder was wearing a ring that made the punch even more severe.

"He needed around 10 stitches for the gash

"We hope to find this guy not because we want to get our revenge but we hope he will at least apologise.

"If there are any eye witnesses, please contact the police.

"The suspect is a guy about 20 years of age and his skateboard has the design of a skull on it."

A police report has been filed.
