A young cyclist was seen hitting a pedestrian with what appeared to be a rubber object and throwing a plastic bag filled with water at another.
A video of the acts was uploaded by Instagram account @sgfollowsall on Jan. 3, 2025.
Instagram users call for cyclist to be punished
The first act which involved hitting a pedestrian with a rubber-like object occurred at a pedestrian crossing at Marina Boulevard.
The pedestrian in question was moving a suitcase along the crossing when the cyclist attempted to hit her.
Another person in the background can be heard saying "Aiya" multiple times throughout the incident.
The video then switches to another clip, in which the cyclist throws a plastic bag filled with water at another pedestrian.
Although the water bomb ended up hitting the ground instead, the laughter of other people, presumably the cyclist's friends, can be heard in the background.
The second incident appeared to have happened near Gardens by the Bay.
Many Instagram users reacted with fury at the video and called for the cyclist to be reported to the police.
One user also criticised the cyclist for giving a bad name to other cyclists in general and pointed out that the cyclist was not wearing a helmet.
Others questioned the need for the cyclist, who appeared to be a youth, to engage in such anti-social behaviour in the first place.
