The Public Security Police (PSP) apprehended a local cyclist on Thursday for drunk driving, with his blood alcohol concentration standing at 1.25 grams per litre, PSP spokesman Wong Chi Weng said during a regular press conference yesterday.
Wong identified the suspect as a male in his fifties surnamed Cheang, who told the police that he is jobless.
According to Wong, the Public Security Police (PSP) received a report on Thursday night about a traffic accident in Avenida Marginal do Lam Mau (林茂海邊大馬路). Upon arrival, the police found an injured cyclist, Cheang, and a male driver. Cheang sustained minor injuries and a breathalyser test confirmed Cheang’s blood alcohol concentration at 1.25 grams per litre, indicating a drunk-driving offence.
Under questioning, Cheang admitted to drinking alcoholic beverages in Fai Chi Kei (筷子基) before riding home. He told the police that he lost his balance while crossing a speed bump, resulting in a collision with a parked car that caused minor damage to the rear left door.
Cheang has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing a charge of drunk driving.
