Bedok road rage turns violent as Singapore man slashes driver with scissors, jailed five weeks
SINGAPORE, June 2 — A 68-year-old man was sentenced to five weeks in jail and banned from driving for six months after scuffling with another driver and injuring him with a pair of scissors during a road rage incident. Sunny Tan Boon Heng pleaded guilty to causing hurt and committing a rash act that endangered the safety of the other driver, 61-year-old Lin Yansong, according to Channel News Asia in its report published today. The incident occurred on January 10 along Bedok North Avenue 3 when Lin attempted to switch lanes in front of Tan's car, prompting Tan to sound his horn and flash his high beam. After both vehicles stopped at a traffic light, Tan made a rude gesture seen by Lin in his rearview mirror, leading Lin to confront him. Tan opened his car door but remained seated, and after a brief exchange, Lin pushed the door shut and walked away. Tan then exited his car with a pair of scissors and engaged in a one-minute scuffle with Lin, resulting in a superficial 0.5cm cut on Lin's left middle finger. Tan later attempted to drive away but Lin stood in front of his car to block him; Tan drove forward, causing Lin to retreat, although no additional injuries were reported. The incident was captured on Lin's dashcam and later reported to the authorities. Tan's lawyer argued for fines, citing that his client acted in self-defence and had stopped driving after the incident, but the judge rejected the plea. Principal District Judge Victor Yeo ruled that the case constituted a clear act of road rage involving violence and a weapon, and that a deterrent sentence was necessary.

Henry Pollock breaks silence on Champions Cup final melee with Bordeaux-Begles prop
Henry Pollock has broken his silence after being involved in a scuffle with Bordeaux-Begles prop Jefferson Poirot after the Investec Champions Cup final. Poirot has been given a two-match ban for grabbing the throat of Northampton 's Pollock when tempers flared following the full-time whistle in Cardiff, where the French club secured a breakthrough European triumph in a captivating 28-20 battle. The veteran prop was cited for an act that Saints boss Phil Dowson described as "uncalled for and out of order", with Pollock getting into it with a number Bordeaux-Begles players. The Lions new boy has now spoken out on the incident, giving his point of view on how things devolved into chaos. 'The whistle goes, and obviously it's pretty heated. I think Dingers (Fraser Dingwall) and (Matthieu) Jalibert were pushing and shoving,' Pollock told TNT Sports. 'I went over to Jalibert, pushed him and got involved, and was like: 'I'm not letting Dingers be on his own here.' 'And then as I'm doing this – I didn't know this in the moment, Fin (Smith) was looking around – apparently the loosehead (Poirot) was on the bench and beelined it straight to me. 'So we're in this, and he basically grabs my neck and gets his hands on my throat and squeezes my neck. I wasn't happy with this, I was pretty angry. 'I managed to rip his shirt, and then the bit that you see is as he turns away, I push him, and then his friend comes in.' Subsequent images shared on social media appeared to show members of the squad at the Top 14 club mocking the expressive Pollock's celebrations. Poirot, capped 36 times by France, is in line to miss the Bordeaux-Begles games against Toulon and Vannes, though will be available for the play-offs with his club currently second in the table.

Moment punter punches bouncer to the ground at London Boxpark before being wrestled to the ground by security
This is the shocking moment a punter was caught on camera punching a bouncer to the ground at Boxpark in London before security wrestled him to the ground. The incident happened on the evening of May 12 at Boxpark's Camden location. Footage shows a bouncer brawling with two angry revellers before one punches him in the face, knocking him to the ground. A huge scuffle erupted with more people joining before security quickly intervened and attempted to pull the punter off of the floored bouncer. The man in the green, who threw the punch, pinned the guard to the ground whilst the others tried to break them apart. A crowd gathered outside the popular food and drink spot as bouncers and members of the public spent over a minute trying to separate the two men on the ground. The floored security guard eventually managed to break free from the man before being ushered away. The punter was then held still on the ground by security as the situation de-escalated. People who saw the footage on social media rushed to the comments to leave their input. One wrote said: 'Best thing for them bouncers'. 'Cheap kick at the end, why?' another added. A third said: 'Just another night in Camden,' whilst another joked: 'It did say box park.'
