A man, who was travelling with a woman and child in a private hire vehicle, allegedly jumped out of the moving car when it was in the Tanglin area on Saturday morning, July 23.

The man's abrupt actions shocked the car's driver, who then took to the Professional PHV Drivers Facebook group to share about what happened and post photos of the aftermath of the incident.

The driver wrote: "Passenger jumped out of my moving car after fighting with his wife . What a spoiled day !!! Grrrrrr."

Photos showed the couple with police officers at the scene, as well as an ambulance parked curbside.

The post appears to have been taken down by July 25 though.

What allegedly happened

According to the driver, he had picked up the couple and a child from River Valley and was driving along Cluny Road when the man allegedly jumped out of the car, AsiaOne reported.

The driver said the couple were conversing in Mandarin and the man, who he referred to as "the husband", apparently suddenly jumped out of the moving car.

The driver was forced to stop driving to check if the passenger was alright.

The driver then called the police, but not before witnessing the man allegedly trying to run away, while bleeding from his elbow and knees.

The driver, in response to comments on his Facebook post, mentioned the injuries on the man.

The woman then chased after the man, all the while both of them sounded like they were shouting at each other, the driver said.

"It's really selfish of him to jump out of the moving car in that manner," the driver told AsiaOne.

"With the shock, I could have lost control of the vehicle and a whole other accident could have happened."

Reactions to the the driver's post commiserated with him for his loss of income and inconvenienced suffered.

Man apprehended

AsiaOne also reported that the Singapore Police Force confirmed that they received a call for assistance along Cluny Road at about 8.55am on Saturday.

A 28-year-old man was conveyed conscious to the hospital, apprehended under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act, and referred to the Institute of Mental Health for psychiatric assessment, the police added.
