Obviously, this man is not winning multiple accolades for displaying exemplary behaviour. He'll also be paying a $5,000 fine for head-butting a wee 10-year-old boy.
32-year-old Phillip Ong Kuan Ming was slapped with a maximum fine after admitting to hurting the boy at a bookstore in Queen Street earlier in April, The Straits Times reports. Apparently, Ong's son and the victim had some kind of issue between them, and the man approached the boy, asking to speak to his parent.
While the boy was waiting for his father at the bookstore, Ong's inner goat spirit arose and the man head-butted the boy on his forehead. The assault left the poor kid with haematoma — a solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues — on his forehead. The boy's father took immediate action by lodging a police report on the same day.
In court, it was revealed that Ong was not able to explain why he went full-on aggro on the boy. Call it a surge of fatherly love then.
Ong had stayed on in the bookstore until the victim's father arrived and already reimbursed the family for the medical expenses. District Judge Ng Peng Hong noted that he had to impose the maximum fine of $5,000, considering the seriousness of the case. Perhaps Ong can put his head-butting prowess to good use somewhere else.
