In a joint news release issued by the police and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Tuesday night, authorities said the police had received a report on Jan 11 at 11.40am on a case involving a car driver who was allegedly endangering the safety of a security guard at the school.
The car driver was arrested on the same day at about 3.35pm.
The older man will be charged with a rash act causing hurt, and for driving a vehicle without insurance coverage.
His son, the owner of the car, will be charged with altering the vehicle's license plate number and allowing another person to use a vehicle without insurance coverage.
