In response to Mothership's queries, the police said they were alerted to the incident along Bedok North Avenue 3 at about 11:40am on Jan. 11.

The driver, who is 61, was arrested for rash act causing hurt.

The 62-year-old security guard seen attempting to stop the Bentley by standing in front of it sustained minor injuries.

The Union of Security Employees (USE), of which the security guard is a part of, revealed that he suffered pain in his right knee after the incident, and has been given three days of medical leave.

Police investigations are ongoing.
