The_King Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 A lorry driver caught on video charging at a cyclist before falling down from a punch to his face along Jalan Eunos has been arrested by the police. In a statement on Tuesday (26 February), the police said the lorry driver, aged 32, was arrested for rash act endangering the personal safety of others earlier that day, following the incident that took place on Sunday morning (24 February). Meanwhile, the cyclist, aged 55, is assisting with investigations for causing hurt. Preliminary investigations revealed that the lorry driver had overtaken the cyclist, and a dispute ensued. “Following an initial confrontation between them, the lorry driver is alleged to have followed behind the cyclist after he rode away, before subsequently veering into the cyclist’s lane and forcing him off the road,” said the police. In the video circulating widely on social media, the lorry driver can be seen charging out of his vehicle to confront the cyclist, who then purportedly punches the left side of the driver’s face once. The lorry driver then falls to the ground and the cyclist rides his bicycle away from the scene. In the statement, the police said, “Rash driving or riding is dangerous and could result in serious or fatal traffic accidents. All motorists are urged to drive safely and strictly abide to traffic rules and regulations.” The police added that they will not hesitate to take firm action against motorists who endanger the safety of other road users. Last month, another cyclist and lorry driver who were involved in a road rage incident in Pasir Ris in December last year were charged in court. The maximum penalty for rash act endangering the personal safety of others is up to six months’ jail along with a fine of up to $2,500. The maximum punishment for causing hurt is up to two years’ jail along with a fine of up to $5,000. https://sg.yahoo.com/news/lorry-driver-viral-video-altercation-cyclist-eunos-arrested-112221133.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
