Mohamed Sultan Mohamed Shariff was a few dollars short of his cab ride back in March 9, 2014, after an evening of drinking — he only had $5 on him, and his fare was $6.70.
Instead of handing over the remaining $1.70, he made the effort to find a plastic bag filled with hot mutton soup and threw it at 70-year-old cabby Teng Ah Bah.
41-year-old Mohamed Sultan has since been sentenced to five months in jail after pleading to voluntarily causing hurt to the elderly taxi driver, The New Paper reports. Poor Teng suffered epidermal burns to 2 percent of his body surface area when the contents of the hot soup splashed onto his neck and upper back.
