Original article:

A man was caught on camera attacking a taxi driver during the wee hours of Oct 12 at Blossom Residences condominium.

Facebook user Getty Lai filmed a video of the incident and said police, who were called in to the scene, arrested the man.

In Lai's 4.5-minute-long video, the man is seen:

• Shouting at the cabby

• Trying to drag the cabby out of the taxi

• Delivering punches and kicks at the cabby

• Removing his own shirt

• Throwing his shirt at the cabby

• Forcing the taxi door open the cabby had closed it

• Engaging in a tug-o-war of the taxi door with the cabby

• Telling security personnel to stay away

• Shoving security personnel away when they tried to intervene

• Using his shirt to smack the ground after the cabby left (with his doors still open)

• Making angry gestures at security personnel

• Engaging in what appears to be a one-sided argument with security personnel

In response to media queries by Stomp, the police said they received a call for assistance along 30 Segar Road at 2.10am.

A 39-year-old man was arrested for threatening, abusing or insulting a public servant.

Stomp understands that he had displayed abusive behaviour towards the police.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Stomp understands that the man had boarded the taxi and was dropped off at his place at the condominium.

The passenger, believed to be drunk, paid his fare and exited the vehicle.

After the cabby left the premises, he realised that the passenger had left his phone behind and drove back to return it.

Stomp understands that was when the man turned violent and started punching the cabby.
