Forty-eight-year-old Bradley Joseph Furness, a Singaporean citizen, allegedly did so as he thought that she was trying to steal his mobile phone.
It is believed the company director grabbed 22-year-old Tan Ching Hong by the neck and pushed her to the floor in what the media then described as a "David versus Goliath situation".
Furness is nearly two metres tall while Ms Tan stood about a head shorter than him.
Earlier, media reports also said that Ms Tan suffered minor injuries including redness on her neck following the alleged incident.
Separately, Furness is also believed to have assaulted a 45-year-old man on March 7.
He allegedly elbowed Jonathan Yeo Wee Liong in the face outside Nanyang Primary School on Coronation Road at around 4pm on that day.
Furness is also accused of one count of mischief. It is believed that he had lifted the windscreen wiper of Mr Yeo's car with the intention of damaging it.
The case has been adjourned to August 18.
If convicted of assault, for each charge, he could be jailed up to two years and fined a maximum of S$5,000.
And if found guilty of mischief, Furness could be jailed up to a year and fined.
