A Mercedes driver was seen preventing a fellow motorist from entering the Jewel Changi Airport car park entrance, getting out of his car, showing his middle finger, and eventually, throwing a kick at the car he stopped.

Footage of the incident was posted onto the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page on Jan. 10, 2024.

Tried to move ahead

According to the Facebook post's caption, the altercation was triggered after the car recording the footage failed to give way to the Mercedes.

The video showed both vehicles travelling along Airport Boulevard towards the entrance of the basement car park.

To enter the car park, vehicles can only access it via the left-most lane.

According to the footage, the Mercedes could initially be seen on the lane to the right of the left-most lane and ahead of the vehicle recording the scene.

But it failed to enter the left-most lane when it was travelling ahead of the vehicle recording the footage.

Managed to filter into lane

The left-most lane then split into two lanes.

The vehicle recording the footage could be seen filtering left, as if to allow the Mercedes to enter the lane leading to the car park.

When the car making the recording filtered back to the right lane of the two-lane road, the Mercedes appeared from its left.

The Mercedes then overtook the car recording the footage and stopped in front of it.
