Guess this was inevitable: an e-scooter rider has knocked a person down, after months of many, many others riding recklessly and illegally on roads and expressways.
On Jan. 27, a 34-year-old man was arrested after the e-scooter he was riding allegedly knocked a woman over at Chinatown MRT station, injuring her.
He is being investigated for a case of a rash act causing hurt.

According to Lianhe Zaobao, the woman, understood to be 45 years old, is a tourist from Taiwan, here with her family for a visit. She had reportedly just exited the station when she was allegedly hit from behind.
