Teen held over bus-stop assault
POLICE have arrested a 17-year-old boy suspected of assaulting
an Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) student at a bus stop after
the Schools National B Division rugby final last week.
It is believed he is a Secondary 4 student from St Andrew's
School (SAS). The police succeeded in identifying and tracking him
down with the help of a photograph an ACS(I) teacher took of him
following the altercation.
It is understood the boy surrendered himself on Tuesday at the
Tanglin Police Station after receiving a call from the police.
Both schools declined to comment as the police are
investigating.
The attack on the ACS(I) student and his friend took place at a
bus stop near the Old Police Academy, the venue of the April 12
final. They got away from the aggressor by boarding a bus. One of
the victims suffered a broken nose and was taken to hospital.
The match, which ACS(I) won 8-7, was marred by an ill-tempered
end. SAS player Daniel Tan hit ACS(I) opponent Leonard Wee,
sparking an on-pitch invasion by students, parents and old boys
from both camps.
