SINGAPORE - Two men will be charged in court on Wednesday (May 11) over an incident in which a driver allegedly used his Bentley to push a 62-year-old security guard outside Red Swastika School in Bedok.

The police and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a joint news release on Tuesday (May 10) that they will be charging two men, the 61-year-old driver and his son, the 28-year-old car owner, for their suspected involvement in the incident that occurred on Jan 11.

The police received a report of the case at 11.40am on the day of the incident and arrested the driver for a rash act causing hurt at about 3.35pm.

His son will be charged with altering the licence plate number and permitting another individual to use a vehicle without insurance coverage.
