The police have arrested two women – a driver and a cyclist – after an altercation where the latter jumped onto the bonnet of the driver’s car near the i12 Katong shopping mall.

Responding to queries from The Straits Times, the police said they received a call for assistance on June 2 at about 3.20pm at 112 East Coast Road.

No injuries were reported and two women, aged 31 and 49, were arrested.

The police are investigating the matter as a case of rash act.

A 39-second video on Facebook page Beh Chia Lor – Singapore Road shows the female cyclist obstructing a grey car in the three-lane road.
