Just before things get nasty in Singapore. The cyclist has been targetted in an online hate campaign since this video has gone viral.
A cyclist has been dubbed “Singapore’s most hated man” after his row with a driver went viral.
The driver of the van tries to pass the cyclist, who is riding in front of the vehicle.
However, when he beeps at the rider a couple of times, the cyclist lashes out at the van. It appears part of the wing mirror breaks off.
The driver then swerves to his left and forces the cyclist off the road. He crashes to the grass verge at the roadside.
And the driver later claimed he swerved because he thought he was about to crash with a vehicle to his right.

A back-facing dashcam in the vehicle just ahead of the altercation recorded it. And what appears to be helicopter or drone footage has emerged of the incident’s aftermath.

While the cyclist should not have smashed lashed out, the driver’s actions are far more dangerous.
However, according to Singapore media the cyclist’s Facebook and LinkedIn profiles have been screen-grabbed and shared widely on social media.
He has been subject to a hate campaign. Meanwhile, many people have rallied around the driver believing he was the victim of the incident on the street in Singapore.
Both cyclist and driver have been arrested since the incident, which took place just before Christmas. The video has been viewed online almost three million times.
