    Drunk Man Viciously Assaults Uber Driver In Front His Own Daughter

    A man was caught on camera throwing repeated punches at an Uber driver who did not want to pick him up and cancelled the trip for safety reasons.

    Stomper Kevin contributed videos showing the violent altercation as well as a photo of the driver’s bloodied and bruised face.

    According to him, the incident took place at Block 31 Toa Payoh on Apr 28, at 10.50pm.

    He said that someone else had made the Uber booking on behalf of the man and added:

    “The drunkard guy became aggressive and scolded vulgarities to the Uber driver.

    “The driver decided to cancel the trip for his own safety, but the man refused to go out of the car and even prevented the car from moving.

    “When the driver tried to remove the man’s hand, he suddenly kicked and punched the Uber driver.”

  • Tangled iPhone Cable In Steering Wheel Caused 4-Car Accident At Pasir Ris, Sent Metal Road Dividers Flying

    Tangled iPhone Cable In Steering Wheel Caused 4-Car Accident At Pasir Ris, Sent Metal Road Dividers Flying

    A driver lost control of his car and caused damage to three other cars, all because of an iPhone cable.

    There were no reported injuries in the accident.

    Police said they were alerted to the accident at Pasir Ris Drive 1 towards Pasir Ris Drive 12, involving three cars and one taxi, at 9.27am on Friday (Nov 4).

    Mr Yeo, who was one of the drivers in the crash, told Shin Min Daily News that his iPhone charging cable was tangled in the steering wheel and causing it to jam. As a result, he lost control of the car, the Chinese evening daily reported.

    His car shot to the right lane and collided into another vehicle, before sending both into the centre divider and dislodging some metal rods.

    One of the rods from the road divider flew into the road opposite and jabbed the bonnet of a third car, driven by private hire car driver Mr Goh.

    A taxi was also hit by a dislodged metal rod.

    Mr Goh told The Straits Times that the taxi had pulled over to pick up a passenger, and he overtook it.

    The rod then came flying over, and missed him by less than a metre. He jammed his brakes when he saw it.

    “Everything was so sudden. If I was going faster, the rod would have hit me,” the 26-year-old told The Straits Times.

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) sent two fire bikes and an ambulance to the scene.

    There were no reported injuries, SCDF said.

    Police investigations are ongoing.
