A video emerged online showing a security guard allegedly being assaulted by two men at a condominium in Farrer Park, and a police report has since been lodged.
This latest incident comes in the wake of the recent spate of violent incidents towards security guards.
According to Channel NewsAsia, which quoted the Security Association of Singapore (SAS), the incident took place on Sunday (7 May) morning at about 6.30 am.
The security guard, Mr Suraskumar from Trek Investigations a& Security Management Services, who works at the City Square Residences condominium along Kitchener Road, was performing regular entry checks at the entrance of the condominium at the time, according to TODAY.
Suraskumar, who was seen in the CCTV footage of the incident wearing a black uniform, could be seen having an argument with some people who were outside the frame of the camera.
A shoving match soon ensued and a woman who was present at the time appeared to be trying to defuse the situation, standing between Suraskumar and the other guys he was having an argument with.
But her attempts to de-escalate the situation proved futile as the two men who were arguing with the guard, walked past her and physically attacked the security guard.
The men attacked the guard with their hands and resulting in the latter retreating, backing into a gantry barrier at the entrance/exit and falling onto the ground, bending the barrier in the process.
As the guard tried to get himself back to his feet, the two men continued to attack him.
Another video also emerged online detailing the subsequent events after the first video, showing the woman telling the men “cannot like that”.
Suraskumar was seen in the video being pinned down on the ground by one of the aggressors wearing white, sitting on top of him.
The Singapore Police Force said that two men aged 26 and 58 are currently assisting the police with their investigations into the incident, which has been classified as voluntarily causing hurt to a security officer.
