A man in Singapore is accused of beating his female companion after she refused to give him money.
The incident occurred on Monday (14 Oct) in front of a shop along Balestier Road.
According to Shin Min Daily News, a disturbance was heard near a repair shop at about 1pm.
The 61-year-old shop owner, Ms Bai (surname transliterated from Chinese), recalled seeing several police officers at the scene following the commotion.
Afterwards, a passerby informed her that the man had asked his female companion for money, but when she declined, he became angry and laid hands on her.
A clerk at a nearby remittance shop said the woman covered her face and cried after being struck.
