Cleaner Lin Yong Cai, who assaulted a man with a metal pole and a wooden pole for no apparent reason, was sentenced to 24 months' jail and six strokes of the cane on Thursday.

The 43-year-old Chinese national admitted to using the weapons to hit odd-job labourer Magandran Nadarajan, 35, on the head repeatedly along Jalan Suka in Geylang on Jan 23 this year.

Assistant Public Prosecutor Lydia Goh said that Lin had consumed some alcohol before the incident.

At Jalan Suka, he engaged the sexual services of an unknown woman who refused to provide the service after she was paid. Lin then got into a dispute with a few unknown men and was chased to the back alley.
