A boy was caught on video tussling with a security guard over a bicycle inside Downtown East’s E!Hub mall, in an incident that led to the police being contacted.<\/p>\n
Two videos of the confrontation, which reportedly took place at around 5.40pm on Nov 5, have been circulating on TikTok.<\/p>\n
In one clip posted by TikTok user matfishing.entertainment on Nov 6, a security guard wearing a reflective vest and a boy dressed in a dark green shirt are seen grappling over a bicycle, with neither appearing willing to let go.<\/p>\n
At one point, the boy tugs on the bicycle while maintaining his grip, causing the guard to spin around.<\/p>\n
Another video by TikTok user abel also posted on Nov 6, shows a man in a white shirt stepping in to speak to both parties. He is later holding down the bicycle as he addresses the boy while the guard appears to be on a phone call.<\/p>\n
This first TikTok video has amassed over 204,000 views while the second clip has garnered over 196,000 views.<\/p>\n
The bicycle involved was reportedly a fixed-gear bicycle, more commonly known as a “fixie”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Such bicycles typically do not have handbrakes and instead rely on pedal resistance for stopping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bicycles without at least one functioning handbrake are not allowed on roads and footpaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NTUC Club, which manages Downtown East, said its security officer spotted two cyclists performing stunts inside the mall at about 5.40pm that day, Mothership reported.<\/p>\n
The officer reportedly instructed them to move their bicycles to the designated bicycle parking area, but they allegedly did not comply.<\/p>\n
As the repeated stunts posed a threat to shoppers’ safety, the officer held on to one of the bicycles, said NTUC Club.<\/p>\n
The cyclists were subsequently brought to the security office and the police were contacted.<\/p>\n
NTUC Club also thanked a member of the public who assisted the officer during the incident.<\/p>\n
The venue management said the safety of its guests and staff remains its top priority, reminding visitors not to ride bicycles within the mall and to park them at designated bicycle parking areas.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne understands that the police have since taken no further action.\u00a0<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has reached out to NTUC Club for comment.<\/p>\n
