From time to time, peculiar events take place on public roads in Singapore, and a recent incident near i12 Katong was captured on video by a bystander.
The video, which has been circulating on social media since June 3, showcases a rather strange and potentially dangerous situation. In the 12-second clip, a cyclist can be seen jumping onto the bonnet of a stationary car while wearing a helmet, sunglasses, and cycling attire.
Without wasting any time, the driver quickly accelerated the car past a junction near i12 Katong, causing honking sounds to fill the air. Amidst the commotion, a distressed female voice can be heard urgently calling for help.
The footage ends abruptly, leaving viewers uncertain about whether the cyclist managed to hold onto the car or if she eventually fell off as it moved beyond the junction.
Discussions among netizens have emerged regarding the incident, focusing on assigning blame for the occurrence. According to a bystander who overheard the conversation prior to the incident, the cyclist was evidently upset with the driver for allegedly “cutting her off during a turn.”
Some users expressed agreement with the bystander’s viewpoint, suggesting that the driver’s reckless action might result in the loss of their driving license. On the other hand, another commenter voiced the opinion that the driver should be held responsible for their behavior.
While the cyclist’s actions were deemed unacceptable, it is important to recognize that the driver’s actions had the potential to cause serious harm to the individual involved.
The police said that they received a call for help on 2 June at about 3.20pm at 112 East Coast Road, and 2 women aged 31 and 49 are assisting with police investigations for suspected rash act.
