He stands in middle of road because...


He stands in middle of road because...

By AsiaOne

A scream broke the pre-dawn silence at 4.30am on a Saturday morning at Hougang Avenue 8.
According to a reader who wrote to the citizen journalism website STOMP, a man was seen standing in the middle of a road shouting about losing his girlfriend.
When the reader, Sharmaine, walked to the window to take a look, she was shocked to see a man staggering between the two lane road and shouting about his relationship problems.

Sharmaine said that the man appeared to be drunk.
At one point, he was shouting "If you can't help me I'll lose my girlfriend."
The man's behaviour resulted in oncoming cars having to slow down or stop to avoid hitting him.

When the cars sounded their horns at him, the man became agitated and started kicking a car's front bumper. This caused someone to approach the man and hit him very hard.
Sharmaine managed to record a video of the scene that followed. The footage shows a man confronting drunk man, and both people were seen moving in between the first lane on the right and fence barrier that marked the boundaries of another lane.
Netizens who have watched the clip expressed annoyance at the drunk man creating a scene so early into a weekend morning.

While some wondered if it was worth it for him to risk his life for his girlfriend, others questioned the lack of any police action despite the incident being an annoyance to nearby residents.
