Fortunately, the car behind them braked in time to avoid running them over.

Who are they?

RDTs support the Police’s Emergency Response Teams and Land Division officers during a terrorist-related incident in Singapore.

They are under the Special Operations Command -- Singapore Police Force's elite unit.

Officers ride Tactical Response Motorcycles to rapidly manoeuvre in between traffic to reach incident sites quickly.

However, it is not an easy vocation as teams are required to regularly ride fast and tight on Singapore's roads while decked out in gear.

Hope all the police officers are okay.
