Cyclist, 46, assisting police investigations for allegedly blocking car with bike at Sengkang zebra crossing causing jam

The 46-year-old male cyclist, who dismounted from his bicycle and argued with a car driver at a zebra crossing in Sengkang on Oct. 10, is assisting with police investigations.

According to the Singapore Police Force, the investigations will look into his alleged offences of public nuisance and "for remaining longer than necessary at a pedestrian crossing".

Police investigations are ongoing.

What happened

The argument between the cyclist and the car driver took place at around 7pm at the junction of Anchorvale Crescent and Anchorvale Street.

The police confirmed with Mothership that they received a call for assistance at around the same time.

The scene of their dispute was caught on the driver's dashboard camera, and the footage was uploaded to Facebook page SG Road Vigilante.

What video shows

According to the video, after getting off his bike, the cyclist appeared to park it in the middle of the zebra crossing.

He then removed his earphones and walked towards the car driver while gesturing at him.

The dispute allegedly went on for a while, and at one point, the cyclist could be seen taking out his phone to take photos of the car and make a call.

Allegedly caused traffic jam

The video also showed a line of vehicles forming behind the car, which were held up as the sky turned darker.

In the comments section of the post, one Facebook user even claimed that her friend was unable to see the latter's mother one last time before the mother passed away because her friend was caught in the traffic jam.

Nevertheless, there were also commenters who appeared to side with the cyclist and berated the driver.

Some even questioned whether the driver had provoked the cyclist prior to their dispute, as the driver "had never released the full footage" showing how he approached the zebra crossing.

While an extended footage uploaded online showed there was no prior altercation, it was unclear if the driver had provoked the cyclist in any other way.
