Officer Gets a Rough Ride After Spotting a Phone‑Using Driver
While cruising down Geylang Road on a sunny Monday afternoon, a traffic cop spotted a greasy car pulling over to answer a text. The driver, who can be called Mr. 35, thought he’d outsmart the law and quickly fled, dragging the unsuspecting officer along for a hard‑to‑think about 50 metres before finally collapsing on the road.
What Went Down
- Police heard a rustling in the car seat—phone in hand, driver not paying attention.
- Officer tried to pull the car back on track, only to find himself tossed like a rag doll over the hood.
- The driver’s car finally was left abandoned in a parking block by Toa Payoh Lorong 4.
Injuries to the Officer
The officer ended up with a stack of bruises and a cracked right ankle that won’t be a minor scratch. He was swarmed to the nearest hospital for a quick fix and a quick recovery.
Finding the Car
After the chaotic chase, the abandoned vehicle was located at a parking lot—probably the driver’s apology to the world.
Arrest Made Easy‑Peasy
At 2:15 am the following night, officers of Bedok Police Division and the Central Narcotics Bureau rounded up Mr. 35 at Jalan Loyang Besar. The man didn’t try to escape this time—just handed over a bag full of drugs and creepy paraphernalia.
Drug Deal Too Bad
CNB seized the suspect’s suspected contraband, turning a simple roadside stop into a drug bust.
Legal Chains Are Tightening
On Wednesday, the court will drag the suspect onto its stage under the Misuse of Drugs Act, while separate investigations are digging into his reckless act that nearly stole the officer’s life.
Thanks to the Helpful Crowd
Police sincerely thank the friendly locals who stepped in during the chaos and helped the officer reach safety.
