Attack in Orchard carpark takes manager by surprise, suspect taken away by US Navy Police.
As reported in our local press few days earlier, A communications manager was looking for a parking lot at an open air carpark next to Wheelock Place on Friday night when someone suddenly banged on the back of his car.
Puzzled, he got out, only to be punched in the face and slammed twice onto two cars by an American sailor reeking of alcohol.
The assult left him with a facial wound which needed four stitches, internal bleeding in his left eye and cuts on his nose.
Before this incident, the drunken american sailor was seen disturbing others in the carpark. Locked himself in a parked car, refused to get out till he had to be pulled out by workers from a nearby Pub. Later the Singaporean was taken to hospital and the american sailor taken away by the American Navy Police.
It was reported the suspect was taken away by officers from the Naval Criminal Investigation Service ( NCIS), a group of law enforcement officers who protect members of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
Our main concern in this case is.............WHY the drunken sailor was not dealth with by our Singapore Police ? WHY the drunken sailor is under the jurisdiction of the American Naval Unit, when the offence is committed in Singapore ?
Will the drunken sailor be convicted ? Will the results be published ? Will our fellow Singaporean victim going to have a fair trial and be compensated ?
