On Sep 10 last year, Wang Shu Jun, a Singapore permanent resident, attempted to enter the MRT station using only one EZ-link fare card for both herself and her five-year-old son.
A female station manager on duty took a photograph of Wang after she refused to return to the control station to pay the fare, reported the Shin Min Daily News.
The two women got into an altercation as Wang flew into a rage and attempted to grab the camera from the manager, Chua Hui Keng.
Cai suffered scratches on her arms as a result.
In her defence in court, Wang said she had forgotten to bring her son's EZ-link card as she was in a hurry.
Her friend, who stays in Serangoon, had agreed to look after her son as Wang was having a night out with some friends that night.
But it was already 11pm and she was in a rush, said Wang.
Wang told the court that she asked Chua if she could pay a 'deposit' of $50 and return later, or if Chua could walk with them to meet her friend first, but she had refused.
Wang said she attempted to take the camera only because Chua took a photo of her.
But when she wanted to pay the fare, the staff informed her that they had already called the police, said Wang.
