A man had a carton of milk poured over his head, before being punched repeatedly by a pub-owner - all for ordering a Brown Cow, an alcoholic drink of Kahlua coffee liquer mixed with milk.
The victim, Mr Chandra Krishnan, told the district court that he had ordered two glasses of red wine, a jug of beer for his friend, and drinks for three women at his table at the Ramesses pub in Changi Village on June 28, 2008. The unemployed 53-year-old then ordered the Brown Cow, but was told by the waitress that the pub did not have any milk. He was asked to order whisky or brandy instead.
In court, Mr Chandra said that he had suffered a heart attack three years ago.
When Mr Chandra offered to get the milk from a nearby convenience store, the pub owner Richard Low Chuan Woo, offered to go instead, but was not happy about it.
Mr Chandra said that when Low, 42, returned, he threw the milk carton at him before picking it up to pour its contents over the former's head. Mr Chandra was also punched on his mouth, head and body.
Police were then called to the scene and the victim was treated at Changi General Hospital. He was advised by police officers to file a private summons against Low.
Low was fined $1,500 for hurting Mr Chandra.
