A man was riding a non-compliant personal mobility device (PMD) on a footpath near Block 667 Choa Chu Kang Crescent on the evening of Aug. 29 when three Land Transport Authority (LTA) officers noticed him.

However, when the officers attempted to engage the rider, he ignored them and left.

Later on, the rider returned with two other men and confronted the enforcement officers.

During the altercation, one of the LTA officers was allegedly pushed to the ground by the three men while in the midst of seizing the PMD.
