SINGAPORE – Police are investigating an incident of alleged road rage that took place in Jalan Bahagia on May 29.

In a video that was posted on SG Road Vigilante’s Facebook page on June 12, a driver can be seen alighting from his Volkswagen Touran and aggressively trying to open the locked door of another vehicle.

It appeared that he was unhappy the other driver had attempted to cut into his lane as the latter approached the roadworks.

In the video, the Volkswagen driver is observed yanking at the door handle multiple times, before banging his hand on the window at the driver’s side while yelling angrily.

Ironically, in September 2022, a Volkswagen Touran with the same number plate was filmed dangerously cutting in front of a police vehicle on the Pan-Island Expressway.

The police vehicle jerked from the impact of having to hit the brakes hard, to avoid colliding into the Volkswagen.

An investigation of that incident is ongoing as well, said the police.
