A video emerged online showing a motorcyclist skidding and crashing on the road, falling onto the pavement before getting up and running away from the traffic police along Geylang.
According to SG Road Vigilante – SGRV, who posted the video, the incident happened on 29 March 2023 at about 1146pm along Geylang Road, and was captured by another vehicle that was nearby the incident when it happened.
The motorcyclist was seen in the video skidding off his bike at the traffic junction of Geylang Road and Aljunired Road, hitting a traffic light before falling onto the pavement.
A traffic police officer riding a bike soon reached the scene seconds later from right behind the fallen rider, and the rider then hurriedly got back up on his feet and fled the scene, running away towards the left.
The traffic police officer then got off his bike quickly as well and gave chase to the fleeing motorcyclist, with another traffic police officer pulling up next to the first officer, before getting off his bike too and giving chase as well.
Not much information is made known about what exactly happened or what was going on, although speculation on the incident has been rife in the comment section.
