A passenger was caught on video hurling vulgarities and hitting a private-hire car after being asked to pay for a trip in Punggol on Feb 2.
Stomper Anonymous shared dashcam footage of the incident, which he said happened to his friend at Block 315B Punggol Central at about 6.44am.
The Stomper, who previously worked as a private-hire driver for three years, remains in a drivers’ group chat where the video was shared.
According to him, his friend had picked up a man and a woman from the Sumang Walk area for a short trip. The fare was $12.80 and was to be paid in cash.
“When my friend arrived at the destination, he asked nicely for the fare as it was a cash payment order,” the Stomper said.
He alleged that the male passenger suddenly became aggressive and was believed to be drunk.
In the clip, the driver is heard telling the passengers that the fare had not been paid. A man is heard asking how much it is.
