SINGAPORE - A man attacked his elderly mother with her walking stick after she refused to disclose the personal identification number (PIN) of her automated teller machine (ATM) card.
He even threatened to cut all of the 77-year-old's fingers with a knife.
She was so badly injured that she only crawled out of bed the next day.
Adrian Yap Yin Leung, 56, was sentenced to jail for five years and three months on Thursday (Jan 14).
He pleaded guilty to one count each of voluntarily causing hurt to his mother while robbing her and subsequently failing to report to the police for investigations.
