Singapore – A cyclist was spotted chasing motorists, smacking their vehicles and hurling vulgarities at a roundabout in Serangoon on Thursday (Sept 30).
The incident was caught on video, involving a man on a bicycle, following vehicles at the busy Serangoon Garden Way roundabout at around 8 pm.
At the beginning of the video, the cyclist, who had his mask tucked under his chin, was seen tailgating a vehicle while shouting loudly.
When the man caught up with the car, he slapped the rear passenger window.
He then hurled vulgarities while circling the roundabout.
The witness who recorded the scene thought initially that the man had a dispute to settle with his target vehicle.
However, after watching him for a while, the witness realised the man was doing it randomly.
“At first, I thought the man was following a car because it almost hit him,” the witness said to Stomp.
“I then realised that he was randomly picking cars as he did it again to a second car. He was screaming at the car, pointing at it and even smacked its door, as seen in the video.
“This is so dangerous as it’s a roundabout. He might easily get hit by a car by following behind random vehicles.”
In response to the news, members from the online community wondered if something could be done regarding errant cyclists as the incidents involving them are rising.
“More and more such errant cyclists. Why can’t someone do something to arrest these nuisance people?” asked Facebook user Joshua Oh.
“They are seriously making the name bad for those good cyclists. Help us to help you, please.”
“Why always this particular group of person making our road so messy huh,” added another netizen.
“The penalties for drink cycling should be the same as for drink driving,” Facebook user Lawrence Soh suggested./TISG
