Man bangs on Joo Chiat house door, calls owner 'f**king b*tch' over complaint about his parking
The owner is afraid that he will return.
A quarrel broke out between a man and a woman late at night on Oct. 25 in Joo Chiat.
It involved a van parking too close to a frangipani plant, a door being violently banged on, and a slew of expletives being uttered.
The 40-year-old woman detailed the altercation in a Facebook post shortly after, where she shared her side of the story.
Van parked too close for comfort
The woman, surnamed Krishnan, arrived home that night around 10pm to a sight that displeased her.
"The van was huge and had parked too close, crushing my frangipani tree plant," she said.
The plant was on a concrete landing between the road and her house — a spot where the neighbours typically put their flora, she said.
She added that the road in front of her house was intended for residents' parking, but that the broken white line road markings allowed for "heavy and large vehicles" to park overnight for free.
Krishnan shot a message to the rental company that owned the van, after spotting its name printed on the side of the vehicle.
The company responded saying that they would ask the van's hirer to move it.
A bang on her door
Thinking that the matter was put to rest, Krishnan put her two kids to bed.
She jumped at the sound of a "violent explosive bang" on her front door 40 minutes later.
CCTV footage showed a man slamming on her door before proceeding to exchange angry words with Krishnan when she opened it.
He shouted: "Anyone can f*cking park on this street."
When Krishnan threatened to call the police, he hollered, "Call, call the police," and, "F*ck you b*tch."
He then stormed off.
"Why can't I park here, you little b*tch?"
Speaking to Mothership, Krishnan shared that she tailed the man and informed him that she was really calling the police.
The man brought his face close to hers and said, "Really, really."
He then claimed that "everyone" complained about him parking along the street.
"This made no sense at all as I have never seen this man before," Krishnan wrote in her post, explaining that she'd lived there for around seven years and had good relationships with her neighbours.
Krishnan told him to stop "talking rubbish", to which he responded by repeatedly calling her a "little b*tch".
"Despite being very assertive in the video and calling the man out, I can assure you I was very afraid that this man was going to hit me at any point," Krishnan said.
The man hastily left after discovering that he was being filmed.
Filed a complaint with the court
Krishnan later told police that she had never seen the man before, even though he claimed that he was from the area.
She told Mothership that she was afraid the man would return to harass her and her family at their home.
"I am very shaken from this incident, honestly," she said.
Heeding the police's advice, she has filed a magistrate's complaint with the Singapore Courts.
