Police report made after elderly man allegedly pushed to ground for patting girl’s head
Police investigations are ongoing.
On August 15 at approximately 4:40 PM, a 40-year-old man was identified by the police in connection with an incident at a coffee shop on East Coast Road. The incident involved an elderly man, reportedly in his 70s, who allegedly had difficulty walking and required assistance. According to a Facebook post by a user named Bei-ing Wanton Noodle, the elderly man, who was the user's father, was pushed to the ground after patting a girl's head.
The post described the elderly man holding onto tables for support while walking past the girl's table. Another woman sitting with the girl tried to stop the elderly man from patting her head, pushing his hand away. However, a man who had left the table earlier returned, verbally confronted the elderly man, and then shoved him to the ground.
The Facebook user later apologized on behalf of his father, who suffered severe back pain following the incident. The police stated that they are investigating the matter and advised the public not to speculate or provide information until the investigation is complete.
