A man with leg weakness linked to complications from a stroke and leukaemia has alleged that he was confronted and assaulted by a woman after she saw him sitting in a priority seat on a public bus.
She had purportedly asked the man to vacate his seat for an elderly passenger, but the man declined.
According to the man’s account, which was shared online, he had told the woman that he needed the seat because of his “leg weakness”.
However, he alleged that she began to “scold” him.
“She said that I am young and I should just stand and give up my seat,” he said, adding that she “refused to listen” when he tried to explain his leg injury.
He alleged that she also began taking photos of him. He responded by taking a video of her, and this led to her hitting his phone.
“She also told me to get down the bus to ‘settle’ with her,” he said.
According to the man’s brother, who shared further details of the incident online, this took place on Thursday (Aug 27) at around 7.55am aboard Service 8, which was travelling towards Tampines.
In a TikTok video posted by the man’s brother, who goes by @chowrenjia, a woman can be heard scolding a man as he records the confrontation.
At one point, she appears to make contact with either his hand or mobile phone with her own phone, while continuing to berate him.
