A former security guard who lost his cool and assaulted a taxi driver for hitting his motorcycle in a road traffic accident was jailed for two weeks on Friday.
Ahmad Bakhtiar Afandi Ismail, 63, had pleaded guilty last week to punching Mr Tan Choo and stamping the 55-year-old on the chest at the junction of Pasir Ris Drive 1 and Pasir Ris Drive 8 on Nov 1, 2010.
The court heard that Mr Tan was making a right turn into Pasir Ris Drive 1 that evening when his taxi hit Ahmad who was travelling fom the opposite direction with his wife as a pillion rider.
The victim immediately stopped after the collision.
As he was approaching the couple, Ahmad stood up and gave him two punches. The victim fell to the ground and Ahmad proceeded to stamp him in the chest.
Mr Tan was treated at Changi General Hospital for chest contusion. He subsequently lodged a police report.
Ahmad, who is now unemployed, could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for voluntarily causing hurt.

PS:
Both are in the wrong.
But when emotions run high, some people just can't control it.
