A cabby who tried to take pictures of a motorist showing him the middle finger had his own middle finger broken by his angry subject.
S. Gopikrishnan, 46, was convicted on Thursday of grievously hurting Peng Weng Fong, 58.
During a three-day trial last month, a district court heard that Gopikrishnan's car shot out of Mount Vernon Road just as Mr Peng was coming up along Bartley Road on the morning of May 3, 2011.
The taxi driver slammed on the brakes to avoid a collision and also sounded his horn.
