A MAN was jailed for eight weeks on Tuesday for hurling flower pots along the common corridor of a Housing Board block.

Ismail Mohamed, 52, unemployed, admitted to the rash act by throwing 10 flower pots at his neighbour's unit at Block 302 Jurong East Street 32 last Friday.

A magistrate's court heard that he was about to take a rest when he heard noise from the flat above.

Frustrated, he went up, picked up the flower pots along the corridor and threw at the window of the flat.

Smashed flower pots were found outside the 70-year-old woman's flat. Two of her window louvres were also smashed.

She called the police, who found some blood stains on the floor leading to Ismail's second-floor unit.

Ismail, who has a similar conviction, could have been jailed for up to six months or fined up to $2,500 or both.
