What happened that day?

The suspects were travelling in a red Kia Cerato with a Singapore plate when their car was scraped at the side by a Toyota Alphard.

The woman in the red Kia tore off the number plate from the Alphard and threw it at the car’s windshield.

Right after she did that, the man ran out of the Kia and shouted obscenities while making rude gestures toward the driver in the Toyota Alphard.

The whole incident was caught on video and the duos’ actions drew criticism from netizens.

Shin Min Daily News reported that the woman claimed her son was egged on by the Alphard driver to get out of the car.
