An 18-year-old man has been arrested for causing grievous hurt by a rash act after he crashed into a personal mobility device (PMD) rider while on his e-scooter in Pasir Ris.

It was previously reported that the incident occurred along Pasir Ris Drive 1 on Saturday (March 16), at around 8.20pm.

A video that went viral on Facebook shows Mr Xie Zhi Hao crossing the road on his PMD when the e-scooter rider crashed into him.
