A video of a woman hanging onto the side of a car turning at a junction has gone viral online.
Facebook page ROADS.sg posted a video of the incident on Thursday (March 10), which showed a car dragging a lady hanging onto its side while travelling along Prinsep Street in Bencoolen.
The video started with the woman chasing after a black car as it approached the Prinsep Street-Middle Road intersection.
As the car makes a left turn, the woman jumps forwards and clings onto the vehicle.
“Anytime a driver drags a person on purpose, it is a chargeable offence as ‘voluntary causing hurt’, and it is a jailable offence,” wrote ROADS.sg.
“If anyone knows this lady and needs a video witness, contact admin, and we will formally make a police report together,” the page added.
According to the video’s timestamp, the incident happened at around 11:11 pm on March 7.
In a comment, ROADS.sg said that the police and an ambulance were seen attending to those involved about 30 minutes after the video ended.
Members from the online community shared varying opinions on the incident, with many wondering if the driver was indeed at fault.
“I feel we focused too much on the surface of this driver dragging the lady, and why don’t we also analyze that it might be this lady harassing/attacking the driver, which might be her ex-gf?” a netizen asked.
“It looks like the woman grabbed hold of the view mirror and refused to let go. Maybe not even the driver’s fault,” added another Facebook user.
