Singapore news. Riot in Singapore.
STOMPers Macrofire and Sonia said that Police cars and motorbikes were overturned and set on fire when a riot broke out at Race Course Road in Little India at about 9pm today (Dec 8).
STOMPer Scott, who was at the scene, said that the crowd was trying to smash the windows of a private bus, when the Police and SCDF arrived to evacuate the driver.
However, a larger crowd appeared after this and overturned the Police cars and motorbikes before setting them on fire.
STOMPer Sonia said: "A bus drive knocked down a man and he was under the bus.
"So as the people saw that they ganged up to throw glass bottles at the bus windows and make a big mess."
At least three busloads of police officers in riot gear responded to a riot that broke out along Race Course Road around 10pm on Sunday night.
The mob believed to be made up mainly of foreign workers apparently attacked an ambulance and a traffice police highway patrol car responding to an accident earlier in the vicinity.
The Straits Times understands that a Bangladeshi worker was hit by a bus earlier and first responders were believed to be attending to the victim when the riot started.
There were at least two explosions at the scene involving the vehicles. Police have cordoned the entire Race Course Road as they try to contain the situation.
STOMPers Zara, Shocked Human, and Pillai also sent in photos of the incident.
