A visitor to a condominium in Bukit Timah lost his cool when he was asked to remove his car.

He was so angry that he allegedly shoved Hazel Park's condominium manager and security officer severaltimes.

And when security officers tried to wheel-clamp his white Nissan Latio, the man jumped into the car and tried to drive away.

He finally stopped only when his car allegedly hit the chief security officer on the right knee.

The condo manager, who wanted to be known only as Mr Chua, told The New Paper on Sunday: 'It was really not necessary for (him to show) all this rage.'

The incident happened around 10am on Friday morning.

Mr Chua and his colleagues were supervising and inspecting some washing and repainting works that were being carried out at the condominium. The visitor, aged around 70, had stopped his car in the middle of the driveway.
Mr Chua, 48, said: 'When I saw that, I approached the man and politely told him, "Sir, you can't park your car here."

'I pointed out the visitor lots to him and explained that he could park his car in a vacant one.'

But the man apparently replied brusquely that he 'did not want the dirty water or paint to splash' on his car. With that, he made his way to the lift lobby but was stopped by MrChua.

It was at this point that the man started to allegedly use abusive words on Mr Chua and his chief security officer, Mr Sin.

Mr Chua claimed: 'While he was shouting vulgarities at us, he used his shoulder to shove us away.

'He even went to the extent of using a four-letter word at me. I kept telling him, "Sir, you don't have to use such words".'

But the man ignored them and rushed into the lift.

While they waited for him, MrChua said he instructed his security officers to bring a wheel clamp. He also called the police.

When the man returned to the lobby about three minutes later, he was angry to see Mr Chua and his colleague waiting for him.

'In between swearing at us and trying to push his way through, he threw a punch on my left cheek,' MrChua alleged.

At this point, the security officer had returned with the wheel clamp and went on to clamp the car as instructed by MrChua.

The furious man jumped into his car and attempted to drive away.

He reversed his car about six metres before allegedly hitting Mr Sin on his right knee.

By then, some residents had been alerted by the commotion.

One of them took photos of the skirmish on her handphone.

She told Lianhe Wanbao: 'He just continued to swear at the men. He even called them big bullies who abused their authority.'

The housewife claimed: 'Even after he hit the security officer, he got out of his car and continued to shout at them. He did not even apologise.'

Mr Chua added: 'He also called the police and told them that there were about five to 10 men manhandling him.'

A police spokesman confirmed that a man was 'arrested for causing hurt by rash act to a person on a driveway of Hazel Park' .

It is believed that the man had gone to the apartment to pick up some documents.

Mr Chua said: 'When we approached the resident to inform him about the incident later, we were told that the man was just a customer. But we've made it clear that we would be barring him from entering the premises again.'
