Russian national charged
Eldaniz Ibishov, 38, a Russian national, was arrested and charged on Nov. 10, 2023, with causing grievous hurt by performing a rash act, CNA reported.
He was allegedly the male passenger who leapt out of a moving minibus before the exit to Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway at about 11:04am on Wednesday, court documents showed.
Nurhilmi, who was riding his motorcycle, hit the rear of a lorry that had stopped allegedly due to the passenger jumping onto the road.
The motorcyclist suffered multiple injuries, CNA added, and court documents did not state why Ibishov jumped out of the minibus.
It was previously reported that the minibus driver was told, after picking up the Russian man at the airport, that he had picked up the wrong person.
Ibishov was ordered to be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health for medical examination, and his case will be heard again on Nov. 24.
Those found guilty of causing grievous hurt by performing a rash act may be jailed for up to four years, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
