Singh faces one charge of committing a public nuisance. The age of the man he had purportedly targeted - Mr Ismail Mohd Dawan - was not stated in court documents.

According to postings online, the confrontation took place between the Paya Lebar and Kembangan MRT stations at 11.11pm on Aug 8.The older man was in a corner seat reserved for the elderly, among others.The commuter then turns to the other passengers in the cabin, raises his hands and says:"I am a coward."

The police said in a statement on Saturday that they had received a report of a man causing a commotion on an MRT train."Police officers from Bedok Police Division worked with officers from the Public Transport Security Command to identify the man. He was subsequently arrested," the police said.

Indeed he is the coward, choosing an elderly to bully.

That young man needs psychiatric evaluation.

May be wanted to seek public attention and get famous. Get well soon E J S

What's happening in Singapore? Becoming more western mentality, no harsh consequences! That's why

Ezra Jeet Singh, bloody punani name ain’t it? You deserve to be incarcerated away frm the public fr bullying an innocent elderly man & to others. Prick.

He definitely committed a public offence and must be fined $1000. Ironically, no one stood up to inform the station officer about the bullying and make sure he is being held till a police officer arrive! Bullying is unacceptable.

hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

And no one stepped in

Yes let them know what is wrong and right since they are so proud of themselves bullying seniors

Singh should have been high on meth!

Ezra Jeet Singh, 19, was charged in court in connection with the case. Singh faces one charge of committing a public nuisance. The age of the man he had purportedly targeted - Mr Ismail Mohd Dawan - was not stated in court documents. Public caning pls.

Love this happy ending.
