Lim is facing three charges, including the possession of a dangerous weapon, causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, and obstructing a public servant. He did not enter a plea at his trial. The alleged incident occurred on August 15th, when Lim attacked the woman and then engaged in a physical altercation with police officers on August 16th at Jalan Lingkaran Dalam.
