A video put up by the @sgfollowsall platform without additional context showed a man standing in the middle of the road before he used the object he was holding to chase after people.
The video was also circulated on other platforms as well without context.
A street sign in the background indicated that the incident took place at Sumang Lane in Punggol.The man was seen wearing a grey long sleeve and long pants while swinging an object that looked like a sword.

He was also seen dragging his sword along the road.
The man gradually picked up his pace, raised his sword and started running.
The camera panned to the right and the man was seen charging towards a stationary black Mercedes.
His left hand came into contact with the vehicle's hood and a loud thud could be heard, before he fell to the ground and rolled onto his back.
He subsequently picked himself up, and spotted the woman who got out of the black Mercedes.
The man raised his sword and lunged at the woman while shouting.

She quickly retreated to the back of the vehicle while a man alighted from the driver's side of the vehicle.
