Singapore – A man reportedly kicked a woman in the head at a fitness corner in Sembawang Crescent on Wednesday night (Nov 3), prompting passersby to step in.
The police confirmed being alerted to a call for assistance on the alleged assault at Block 363B Sembawang Crescent at around 9:30 pm on Wednesday.
The 48-year-old was reportedly behaving aggressively towards a 46-year-old woman said to be his wife.
While the woman was squatting in the fitness corner, the man suddenly kicked her in the head, according to Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily News.
Witnessing the incident, passersby hurried to the scene to stop the man.
It was reported that the couple is renting a room in a nearby flat.
Their landlord told Shin Min that when she returned home on Wednesday, she spotted the woman sitting by the foot of the block, complaining about being beaten by her husband.
“When I reached the unit, I saw that the husband was intoxicated, so I did not dare to ask questions. I don’t know how the dispute happened,” the landlord said.
A neighbour also heard loud shouting but could not make out what the man was saying.
He also witnessed the man push the woman.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said the woman was found to have suffered minor injuries and refused hospital conveyance.
