SINGAPORE: The man who pushed an elderly woman down a bus along Upper Thomson Road has been charged in court.
Ong Kok Hao, 25, is accused of hurting 76-year-old Hwang Li Lian on bus service number 167 at about 3pm on June 5 this year.
Ong is said to have used his right hand to push the old woman on her back, causing her to fall on the steps of the bus.
The incident was captured in a two-minute video and uploaded on YouTube.
The video shows Ong suddenly flying into a rage at Mrs Hwang for pressing the bell at the last minute along Upper Thomson Road.
A shouting match then ensued and during the heated spat, Ong threatened to slap the woman, before pushing her down the bus.
Ong's lawyer Eddie Koh will be making representations to the court. The case will next be mentioned in December.

shame on him

i think both sides are in wrong.
some aunties these days are really...
and that Ong Kok Hao should just stop at chiding at her instead of pushing her
when he pushed her, then he is definitely in the wrong. -
The most funny part was when he turned up in court in bermudas the first time around.
His excuse?
He thought he had to wear appropriately only if he thought he was guilty.

too much aspargus?
