The video of this incident was initially posted by the Grab driver victim's son, who goes by the name Belliansa Xu on Facebook:

The video was posted alongside other screenshots of the culprit walking on the lane, right before making the ill-considered decision of doing what he allegedly did.

According to Xu's account of events, which took place near Envy Dance Club at St James Power Station, his father honked at the man, but all his friend did was to shout "We apologised already, what more do you want?".

For fear of injury, the driver moved off to avoid a confrontation with the youths.
