A 19-year-old man was arrested for voluntarily causing grievous hurt after he allegedly followed a 51-year-old woman before assaulting her after she purportedly took pictures of him and two others gambling at a void deck.
The incident happened at Block 340 Jurong East Avenue 1, on 2 June at around 7.30pm.
The man is also being investigated for intentional harassment.
An eyewitness who is a resident nearby, said that he saw the man following the victim, who happens to be the manager of the neighbourhood committee.
The man was heard telling the victim to delete a photo but she ignored him, and the man then allegedly attacked her from behind.
The eyewitness said that blood was flowing from the victim’s mouth, as several passers-by rendered aid to her and helped her to rest nearby.
Police investigations are ongoing.
