The security guard suffers from a fracture after the fall.
If the man is found guilty of causing grievous hurt, he can be jailed for up to 10 years and/or fine and/or caned.
Background:
The incident happened at United Square on 6 November 2021.
The security officer had signaled for an SUV driver to stop, and the driver then drove into a barricaded lane at a drop-off point.
The driver then allegedly shoved the security guard onto the ground after alighting from his car to confront the guard, resulting in the guard suffering a fracture to his pal and an injured lower back.
The police are investigating the incident and the union is assisting the officer, who is on medical leave because of the alleged incident.
The injured security officer who has been a senior security officer deployed at United Square to control traffic at United Square’s drop-off point, has been working for about 5 years prior to the alleged assault.
