Suspect for Golden Mile Complex assault brought to scene for reenactment

SINGAPORE – A suspect seen on video assaulting a man at Golden Mile Complex was brought back to the scene on Sunday (Oct 15) for a reenactment with the police.

The suspect, 22 - clad in a light coloured shirt and dark coloured pants - was brought to several areas on the ground floor of the building as part of the reenactment. The process took around 15 minutes.

He was arrested by the police on Saturday night and will be charged in court on Monday.

The video of the attack which took place on Wednesday morning has gone viral over social media. It shows the 25-year-old victim lying motionless on the floor outside a shuttered shop, while another man wearing a white T-shirt and light grey trousers kicks and stomps on him repeatedly.

In the 48-second clip, the assailant can also be seen punching another man in a black top nearby, before returning to stomp on the head of the first victim several times.

Bystanders can also be heard exclaiming during the incident.

The police told TODAY on Saturday that they were alerted to a case of voluntarily causing grievous hurt at 5001 Beach Road at 3.07am on Wednesday. 

The victim, believed to be a Singaporean, was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital following the attack. He is believed to be suffering from serious head and facial injuries.
